executive director of South
Lane Wheels and was intro-
duced to the ins and outs of
a rural transit system.
Linoz counts her time at
South Lane Wheels as in-
valuable.
“It was exciting to be the
leader that basically took a
struggling organization and
made it viable and thriving,”
she said. “And also to learn
how a rural community op-
erates.”
On top of her role in the
transportation sphere, Li-
noz began to expand her
rural resume to include in-

the Rotary Club, the Cottage

merce, the Main Street Pro-
gram and the Cottage Grove
Community Development
Corporation.
Though District 12 rep-
resents the Springfield area,
Linoz believes her engage-
ment with businesses and
groups in Cottage Grove
will inform policy decisions
which take rural concerns
into account.
“All of that has given me
a behind-the-scenes look at
a rural community’s need
for economic development,
how they struggle to man-
age their own resources and
come up with policies and
procedures that encourage
business and help their cit-
izens stay, work and live in
the rural environment,” she
said.
In Springfield, Linoz has
been active with LTD’s ac-
cessible services advisory
committee and fills the role
of rural representative. She
has also helped advise how
transportation funds are
used, some of which are
being used for South Lane
county projects such as the
LTD Connector.
“My relationships with
the city, county, state and
Eugene/Springfield through
my role at LTD has just
benefited everything that
we’ve done here [in Cottage
Grove],” she said. “It’s been
an opportunity to bring
projects down here.”

rently suspended due to the
COVID-19 health crisis, is a
public shuttle service in the
Cottage Grove area run in
tandem with LTD and South
Lane Wheels. Linoz sees the
project as a good example of
cross-pollination.
“The fact that there’s trust
already in place and we al-
ready know how to work
through issues with the
service that we are running
separate from LTD … there’s
already been that open door
and that relationship and it
helped them to trust me,”
she said. “That’s where I see
I benefit both worlds. I can
be that representative that,
even if I’m not working or
living in Cottage Grove, I am
aware and will keep my con-
nections with Cottage Grove
so I can advocate from a ru-
ral perspective.”
Though she has enjoyed
her engagement with civic
groups, making those con-
nections and finding com-
munity solutions, the de-
cision to run for office has
surprised even Linoz.
About a year ago, she was
encouraged to run by an
acquaintance with election
campaign experience.
“It was such a startling
suggestion that I discounted
it off the bat,” she said. “I just
wasn’t prepared to even see
that as a possibility.”
After more conversation
a bit of friendly urging,
though, she came to realize
that her experience in Cot-
tage Grove could qualify her
for the role. Setting aside her
initial fears, Linoz said she is
now ready to deal with the
tumult that comes with po-
litical life and sees her lack
of political background as an
actual benefit.
“So now it’s just believabil-
ity,” she said. “Can people
believe that how you operat-
ed in your past experiences
and level of responsibility
— can they envision you be-
ing responsible for statewide
decisions?”
On the issues, Linoz said
part of her approach will
be to acknowledge the di-
vergence of needs between
rural and urban communi-
ties while focusing on local
control.
“Some things just don’t
need to be at the state level,”
she said, referencing certain
state procedures as not find-
ing applicability with her
own nonprofit South Lane
Wheels.
“Seeing that often enough,
I want to make a difference
in that I don’t forget to think
about the trickle down,” she
said, adding that she wants
to find “more reasonable
strategies” that will do less
damage to smaller entities.
“We’ve got to stop ham-
pering business and come
up with a better balance be-
tween regulations, but not
so much that it penalizes a
business from growing and
operating,” she said. “I just
don’t think due diligence
is happening some of the
time.”
Linoz cited the state’s re-
cent cap and trade bill quar-
rel as a “rushed job” which
didn’t take into account the
consequence of more bu-
reaucratic excess.
Finding solutions to
homelessness is also on Li-
noz’s to-do list and she sees a
focus on business as a strat-
egy.
“I really agree with getting
people into housing as the
best way to invest money
and resources,” she said. “If
we were making it possi-
ble for businesses to thrive
— for people to have jobs
— then money could come
into the whole community
so that we have resources to
take care of public housing
or other housing options.”
Though Linoz stated she
has no problem with using
state funds to address home-
lessness, she said she prefers
that communities have final
say on how they use that
money to deal with their
particular challenges.
Linoz also plans to advo-
cate for more education op-
tions such as charter schools
and veteran and first re-
sponder support, especially
for those dealing with trau-
ma.
“I want to be a fresh voice
that talks about these is-
sues,” she said. “I’m tired of
fear being a mantra … we’ve
got such a social thread of
decency that there’s no rea-
son we should be walking
around being afraid. I choose
to do what’s hard. And if do-
ing what’s hard is unpopular,
I’ll sign up for that. I don’t
have an ego about this. If this
doesn’t happen, I can still do
what I do best.”
Administration (SBA) to
make farmers and agricul-
tural businesses eligible for
the Emergency Economic
Injury Grant program that
was included in the Coro-
navirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act.” the
senators wrote. “The Small
Business
Administration
made farmers and agricul-
tural businesses ineligible
for this program and we
would like to know the rea-
soning behind this decision
and any statutory limitations
on aiding farmers. Farm-
ers need our help to make
it through this pandemic
while continuing to feed
American families and fuel
our economy, both of which
are essential to our short and
long-term survival.”
Additionally,
Wyden,
the son of a journalist, has
joined 18 other senators in
asking Senate leadership
to include protections for
small town newspapers and
local journalists in any fu-
ture COVID-19 related leg-
islation.
“The current public
health crisis has made the
already vital role of local
news even more critical.
