Who Is Supporting Mike Clark in Ward 5
Two editorial boards, elected officials from both sides of the aisle, the firefighters and police who answer Eugene's calls, the trades who build its housing, and the businesses that employ its neighbors.
In their words
“…we like his well-informed, common sense approach to the city's problems.”
“Clark has offered the most realistic assessment of the budget challenges facing the city, and appears most willing to make hard decisions.”
“I support Mike Clark for City Council because he brings a practical, common-sense approach to moving Eugene forward — and a clear focus on getting real results with the resources we have.”
“Mike's years long fight to make the old EWEB building the new city hall probably saved Eugene taxpayers more than 30 million dollars.”
“Mike Clark continues to stand out as a leader who listens not only to his constituents but to all members of our community. I have personally worked with him for more than 25 years and I count on his decision-making to reflect his strong values of service. He is diligent in his work and his attention to detail delivers powerful results effectively using available resources to deliver positive outcomes.”
“When the public depends on first responders, we depend on Mike.”
“We endorse Mike because we count on his leadership to help make housing more available and affordable.”
“Mike fights for our neighborhood association and the people of north Eugene. He's fought for our parks, our roads, public safety and our quality of life like no other councilor. He's truly our champion.”
“We believe Mike is the strongest candidate to improve safety, grow opportunity, and strengthen our local economy so life in our community becomes more affordable for everyone.”
