Lore Christopher knows the challenges facing Keizer, and she has the answers to meet those challenges:

• During the next 10 years the Keizer Station will be built. Lore is fighting to ensure a quality development while keeping traffic congestion from overwhelming city streets.

• Existing Keizer businesses are the backbone of our local economy. Future development of the Keizer Station will provide over 3,500 jobs for Keizer residents, reduce commuting and polluting, increase City revenue by $500,000 annually (keeping taxes low) AND keep Keizer dollars in Keizer!

• Lore led the effort to adopt Keizer’s 8-year financial plan, addressing critical issues such as street improvements, parks and open spaces, and the need to fund services within existing revenues. Current forecasts indicate a balanced budget maintaining current services into the next decade.

Lore Christopher. Experience for Keizer’s Future!
