FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 9 to 10 AM One recount remains, but election results portend SKPS sweep It appears that progressive candidates swept recent elections to the Salem-Keizer School Board in May. One race, in Zone 3, will head to an automatic recount because of the narrow margin – 73 votes – separating candidates Ashley Carson-Cottingham and Linda Farrington. Zone 3 represents South Salem in district decisions. Election offi cials told Salem Reporter a recount rarely results in changing the outcome. The tallies are still unoffi cial until certifi cation occurs, the deadline is July 7. The Marion County Clerk’s Offi ce issued updated vote totals on Wednesday, June 2. The outcome of the election represents a sea change for the Salem-Keizer School board, which will have its fi rst three Latino members sworn-in in July. In Zone 1, Osvaldo Avila won a four-way race with 45% of the vote. His closest com- petitor, Kari Zohner, amassed a bit less than 41%. In Zone 5, Karina Guzman Ortiz edged out Mike Slagle by 321 votes. The incum- bent, Jesse Lippold Peone fi nished a distant third. In Zone 7, Maria Hinojos Pressey fi nished nearly 1,000 votes ahead of Liam Collins. The elections were seen by many as a contest between liberal and conservative agendas. The conservative slate was backed by the Marion+Polk First political action committee (PAC) and two that were fortifi ed by the Oregon Right to Life PAC. Voter turnout for the May election was an anemic 26.6%, but still higher than the level of participation in the 2019 off -year election. Clean-up crew named volunteer of the quarter The Keizer City Council recognized Tyler and Jessica Davidson and mem- bers of the First Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as Volunteers of the Quarter at a May meeting. During an ice storm that socked the area in February, the Davidsons orga- nized a team of volunteers that helped clean up at dozens of area homes. “There were a number of families that needed some help and weren’t going to get it any other way. They also cleaned up around Liberty House in Salem,” said City Councilor Dan Kohler in recognizing the group. Jessica took the lead in organizing much of the eff ort and making things happen, Kohler wrote in a nomination form. “This is not something I anticipated when my family sat down and tried to fi gure out how to help others during a trying time,” Davidson said. “When I am going through hard times fi nding ways to help others takes my mind off the things I am going through.” Kohler, Mayor Cathy Clark and City Councilor Ross Day nominated the group.
