I served with Don Scott on the city budget committee for several years. Don has shown himself to be very well informed, insightful and considerate of the needs of North Salem. 
Don has regularly attended our Neighborhood association meetings and has gotten to know our concerns. When issues have arisen, he has been ready and able to step forward and take a leadership role. Don Scott has proven himself to be an effective advocate for North Salem. 
One of the characteristics the Salem City Council needs is balance and consideration of both sides of an issue. Don Scott has shown he can look at both sides of an issue and stand up for what he believes is right.
