Chris Hoy – A Strong Voice for You

I’ve lived in Ward 6 for the past 12 years and I believe we have not received our fair share of City resources. Too many decisions are driven by special interests and their campaign contributions to City Council elections. You can change that by electing a new progressive voice who will work on your behalf. With your support I will work to:

• Prioritize sidewalk and bike safety• Collaborate with Cherriots to bring back weekend and late evening

bus service• Establish a plan for the north blocks of the State Hospital that

preserves neighborhood livability• Build an affordable, adequate police facility• Increase the supply of affordable housing • Address the issues of homelessness in a compassionate and

effective way• Develop more neighborhood parks

As a home owner and lifelong Salem resident, I have had many opportunities to observe and interact with government locally and on the state level. More recently I have also studied federal politics, and what I have realized is this: change and progress begins at the local level and works its way up. We cannot expect for the reforms we want to be handed down to us from bureaucrats and politicians far away. It is because I realized this that I am running to be your city councilor.

All of your freedoms, all of the time. This will be my position as your councilor. Your right to self-determination is my highest priority. From repealing bans on tiny homes and rideshare services to eliminating taxes and spending, I will always advocate for the maximum amount of your liberty and vote for any step in that direction. I love this city that my wife and I grew up in and are now raising our two children. I want my family and yours to have the freedom to prosper and flourish in our community.

Join me to make local change here in Salem, and to show an example to Oregon, the country, and the world.
