On June 11, dozens of
cars circled Florence resi-
dent Sally Wantz’s house on
her cul-de-sac while follow-
ing social distancing and
mask-wearing guidelines.
Citizens of Florence wait-
ed in line while in their own
vehicles in order to sign a
petition to place the name of
Sally Wantz on the Novem-
ber 2020 ballot for Florence
City Councilor.
Each petition signer was
given a clean clipboard, a
sterile pen and a “thank
you” from Wantz and her
spouse, Jennifer French.
After 16 years of work-
ing in human resources for
Three Rivers Casino Resort
and the Confederated Tribes
of Coos, Lower Umpqua
and Siuslaw Indians, Wantz
retired June 5.
Following her completion
of the Florence Civic Lead-
ership program in 2004,
Wantz said she has wanted
to serve on City Council,
and that “...the time has
come to pursue that dream.”
With what Wantz de-
scibed as a “deep respect
for what it requires to ef-
fectively serve,” Wantz said
she is committed to being
an active and accessible city
councilor “...working to en-
sure Florence is a vibrant,
strong, safe and welcoming
community for all who live,
work and play here.”
