8A • COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • OCTOBER 10, 2018
TREND
from A1
aft er former city councilor
Amy Slay stepped down af-
ter a moved across town and
out of city limits barred her
from keeping her seat. It re-
sulted in the city of Cottage
Grove losing its only elect-
ed female other than the
three female members of the
South Lane School Board
and drew attention to the
fact that no elected, appoint-
ed or hired female was in a
position of leadership within
the city.
Th e issue was examined in a
February article in Th e Sen-
tinel.
“I think a lot of people saw
the article and realized there
was a lack of women running
and there are several move-
ments nationwide of wom-
en standing up and running
for these things,” said Ash-
ley Rigel, who is running
for the seat currently held
by councilor Mike Fleck. “I
feel like a bunch of women
are just busting through that
glass ceiling and women are
seeing that there’s a lot of
encouragement from other
women now.”
Nationwide, women are
running for offi ce in record
numbers; and winning. In
August, 219 women won
their primary elections for a
chance at a seat in the House
or Senate.
Dozens of women have
tossed their hat into the ring
for local county races and,
while the U.S. has never seen
more than nine female gov-
ernors in offi ce at one time,
this year there is an opportu-
nity for 13 women to occu-
py their state’s top executive
offi ce.
refi nement plan. But, I do
think women can have a dif-
ferent view, a diff erent way
of approaching things and
I think having a woman on
the council is an asset.”
Hermansen was less in-
volved in local politics and
more involved in the school
the three candidates can be
elected to the board.
“As I was attending the
meetings and listening Greg
Ervin’s comments about
bringing his young fami-
ly out into the community
I just think that’s what we
need,” said Hermansen. “My
daughter is 12 and as a
woman, I was her to know
these options are there. I
work full time and volun-
teer my time but I want her
to know she has all kinds
of options in the world. If
think of running yourself so
it perpetuates itself,” Spencer
said. “It’s hard to develop the
idea of ‘I want to be a may-
or’ on your own … Th ere is
a confi dence gap with wom-
en in running the rigors
of campaigning,” she add-
ed. “Asking for money, it’s
“I just realized I was in all of these
things and I thought, ‘Huh, maybe I’m
not bad at this. Maybe I can do this.’
And early on someone had told me,
‘You should run for council.’”
women don’t step up, how
will out daughters know
they can?”
Rigel, Lamb-Solsbee and
Hermasen are joined by
Christy Inskip who is run-
ning for the House District 7
seat against Cedric Hayden.
All eight candidates for
city council took part in
a candidate forum that
occurred aft er Th e Sentinel’s
print deadline on Tuesday
night. Th at story can be read

MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT
BEGINS OCTOBER 15TH
Do you need to Review next years choice?
— Jill Hermansen, City Council candidate
When the Cottage Grove
Area Chamber of Com-
merce was working toward
bringing a celebration to
honor the fi lm “Animal
House” to Cottage Grove,
Candace Lamb-Solsbee had
a lot of opportunity to come
before the city council and
said she did notice a voice
missing.
“For me, running wasn’t
necessarily that there weren’t
any women but being a busi-
ness owner, I thought we
could use a small business
advocate on the board es-
pecially with the changes
coming with the downtown
district, her local church and
Habitat for Humanity, be-
fore deciding to run.
“I just realized I was in all
of these things and I thought,
‘Huh, maybe I’m not bad at
this. Maybe I can do this.’
And early on someone had
told me, ‘You should run for
council.’”
According to Dr. Barbara
Spencer, chair for the Ore-
gon Commission for Wom-
en, it’s not unusual for wom-
en to be the last people in
their lives to initiate the idea
of running for offi ce.
“If you don’t see women
up there, you oft en don’t
