Stayton Residents,

As a long time resident of Stayton, I share the same concerns you do. I worry about crime, traffic, school overcrowding, and growth. In general, we are all concerned with our quality of life.

Because Stayton is such a desirable place to live, we must be especially vigilant in managing the citys growth. We must balance the need for economic stability with the need for preserving those things which make our community great.

As a city councilor, I can speak out for and protect our best interests without being compromised by conflicts of interest. I have no commercial property interests within the city, nor do I conduct any business enterprise in the city. This detachment will allow me to make fair and effective decisions without any personal bias.

Our city needs someone on the council with a vested interest in the quality of life in Stayton. I am that person. I have a history of community service and plan to continue in that tradition. My commitment to Stayton and my desire to serve make me the best choice for city council.

I look forward to being a part of Staytons council and making a positive difference in our lives.

Sincerely,

Brad A. Goergen
