make meaningful progress on
the issues that matter most to
the people of Marion County,”
Bethell said in a press release.
Bethell has served as exec-
utive director of the Keizer
Chamber of Commerce since
2016. In May, she ran to un-
seat Chuck Lee, Keizer’s long-
time representative on the Sa-
lem-Keizer School Board. She
won with more than 52 per-
cent of the votes cast.
She is a mother to three
teenagers with a history of
community
involvement
ranging from the Rotary Club
of Keizer to the McNary High
School Athletic Booster Club
and numerous communi-
ty-business collaborations. Two
of the most notable efforst
have been getting turf football
fi elds installed at McNary and
McKay high schools.
She is owner of NW Events
and Promotions and co-owner
of Bethell Plumbing in addi-
tion to her post at the Keizer
Chamber of Commerce.

The director of Keizer’s
Chamber of Commerce suc-
cessfully unseated a member
of the Salem-Keizer School
District Board of Directors
earlier this year. Next year, she
will vie to replace an outgoing
Marion County commission-
er.
Commissioner Sam Brenta-
no announced that he would
not seek re-election to his
seat in 2020 and, at the same
time, endorsed the candidacy
of Danielle Bethell, a Keizer
resident.
“I am endorsing Danielle
Bethell because she will car-
ry on with a conservative eye
toward county government,
being fi scally responsible and
responsive to the needs of our
county,” Brentano said.
Bethell is eager to tackle
county issues.
“I look forward to meeting
and listening to the people of
Marion County. From grass
fi elds to vineyards and water-
falls, timberland and lakes to
growing urban spaces – we
have a great opportunity to
me to learn a lot of new things about what

When I read the Keizertimes, I’m reading
about my community. What’s going on

there’s still a community newspaper that
