issue that is extremely important to me and
many others. We need a city councilor who
understands that there is a slow-growing
housing crisis and can bring forward real,
implementable ideas to deal with it. I am
confident that Joshua Skov is the person
for the job.

RECORD OF SERVICE
As a nurse who’s worked in our
community for since 1981, I appreciate
our region’s emphasis on livability and the
crucial support services we provide to our
families. I believe we need strong local
leadership to build on this foundation.
That’s why I support James Manning for
state representative of House District 14 in
west Eugene and Junction City.
A retired Army veteran, James continues
serving others to make our community
healthier and more equitable. As chair of
the Oregon Commission on Black Affairs,
his leadership has inspired initiatives to
help ensure all people, regardless of their
ethnicity or status, can afford medical care.
James’ work advocating for disabled
individuals as a board member for
the Pearl Buck Center and his role on
Eugene’s homelessness task force show
his passion for helping our most vulnerable
community members.
We need committed leaders like James
who will champion our community’s
values and work to improve standards so
every family can meet their basic needs.
The Oregon Nurses Association and I
endorse James Manning in House District
14 because of his proven track record of
service and his commitment to creating a
more vibrant and prosperous Eugene.

DIVIDING THE LEFT
Could a conservative Republican
become mayor in progressive Eugene?
Mike Clark, a shrewd city councilor
and mayoral candidate from north
Eugene, has voted against the Climate
Recovery Ordinance, against protections
for the homeless, against the sick
leave ordinance, against sustainable
transportation and supports expanding the
urban growth boundary on to surrounding
farm and forest lands. Could he be our
next mayor? Here's how he could do it:
Ask your friends in the timber and real
estate industries for thousands of dollars in
campaign pledges early in the season, but
have them wait to make their donations
until after the candidate forums are over
and after the voter guides are printed. By
waiting, the opposition doesn't know how
much your campaign has to spend until
the last minute, and your opponents have
very little time to alert voters about the
source of your campaign funds.
According to records from the Oregon
secretary of state, on April 28 alone, just
a few weeks before the election, Friends
of Mike Clark received $10,000 from
Murphy Plywood, $5,000 from Seneca
Jones Timber Company, $8,900 from
Oregon Realtors PAC and $10,000 from
Spring Asset Management LLC.
Use the money to blanket the airwaves
and internet with your name and message
about your experience on City Council
and how you want to "work together,"
even if your colleagues on the City
Council — the people you work with
every day — don't endorse you. With so
much presidential drama, most people
aren't paying attention to local elections
and will vote for a name they recognize.
Make yourself look a lot more
moderate than you really are by telling
voters that you just want to make some
"course corrections" without stating
what that means. Avoid talking about
your voting record on the City Council,
don't mention that you're a registered
Republican, don't respond to interview
requests from Eugene Weekly and don't
remind voters about how much of City
Council's time you took trying to make
