I served on the 4J board with Judy Newman for two years (2019-2021) and was consistently impressed with her insight, experience and nuanced thinking. We dealt with many difficult issues, none of which are nearly as devastating as the current state of public education and covid safety. Newman’s long career as an educator and administrator positions her to be the right guide to get us through these unusual times.
I strongly recommend Newman to continue work for our kids and staff. Having an experienced and wise board member is critical, and she is undoubtedly the right person for the job at the time we need her most.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
