When I look at City Council Ward 1 candidates, Tim Morris stands out. I have seen him in action for four years, and he works tirelessly, contributes fresh ideas and helps move conversations to a resolution that can be supported and implemented.
I am looking for a candidate who has problem-solving skills and solid principles for decision-making. Although we can’t know all issues that will emerge over the next four years, Tim’s good judgment and creativity in crafting solutions give me confidence in his ability to address whatever challenges present themselves.
He is passionate about real-life concerns, for instance, providing affordable and accessible housing for Eugene to address our environmental problems with compact communities that reduce transportation costs and greenhouse gas emission and reduce taxpayer burden in paying for more unnecessary infrastructure.
Morris serves on a rule-making advisory committee for HBs 2001 and 2003, so he is knowledgeable about the impacts they will make on our community. He proposes that we take more control of our community’s future by writing our own rules for zoning codes so Eugene remains unique.
Vote for Tim Morris in the May election.

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!
