I am voting for Mindy Schlossberg for the at-large position on the EWEB board.
The EWEB board is very important because the decisions it makes have a huge impact on the lives of people who live in our community and on the health of our local environment and the quality of our lives. Schlossberg has a strong commitment to environmental and fiscal responsibility including reducing our carbon footprint, and water and watershed protection.
She has a strong commitment to helping families in our community who have limited resources and need affordable housing and utilities. We need a strong leader on the EWEB board, one who can see the big picture and provide strategic guidance to achieve accountability and someone who will work hard to make good things happen.
We need a person who can listen to others and understand various points of view. We need someone who can work well with others to come up with practical solutions that achieve our shared goals and reflect our shared values.
Schlossberg has these qualities; she is a strong leader, she is a great communicator and she demonstrates solid values of accountability, fairness and sustainability. Mindy is the best candidate for EWEB commissioner.

A Note From the Publisher
Dear Readers,
The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.
That’s because of you!
Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.
Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.
We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.
And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.
None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.
As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.
Thank you for standing with us!
