The members of a City Council supervise the city departments, either directly or through a city manager or administrator. City Councilors pass laws, set policy, decide which services will be provided, and develop budgets; they negotiate work contracts and make hiring and firing decisions. An elective city officer must be a qualified elector under the state constitution who has resided in the city for at least 1 year before being elected.Normally a City Councilor serves a 4-year term, but this race is to fill a vacancy so it will be for 2 years. The position is nonpartisan.

West Lin
Having spent the majority of my career in corporate leadership roles, I've honed skills that uniquely equip me to serve as a community leader. I believe several qualities distinguish me as the ideal candidate:
Strong Leadership Skills: I possess the ability to navigate complexity with finesse, inspiring others to tackle challenges head-on.
Strategic Vision: My capacity to comprehend essential strategic objectives is matched by my experience in crafting fiscally responsible long-term plans.
Financial Management: With a proven track record in budget creation and management, I bring a keen understanding of fiscal responsibility to the table.
Committed to Public Service: I am dedicated to fostering positive change through representation.
Enhancing public safety by providing robust support for law enforcement in our community.
Fostering economic growth to enrich our local economy through initiatives such as revitalizing the Willamette Falls area. This endeavor will not only drive economic growth but also create vibrant gathering spaces for families and friends.
Addressing pressing environmental issues, particularly those focused on promoting the safety and sustainability of native species. This commitment aims to secure a beautiful, sustainable West Linn for future generations.
Lastly, and importantly, I will serve as an unbiased community advocate, ensuring that your concerns are not only heard but also impartially addressed.
As a city council member, I'll ensure accountability and transparency by advocating for open access to city documents, independent oversight, clear reporting on expenditures, and upholding ethical conduct. These measures aim to build trust, engage residents in decision-making, and ensure accountability in governance. Maintaining direct communication between local government and the community is essential for establishing trust and effective leadership.
