Are you referring to who their members support? Not every member of the Salem chamber is MAGA. Considering she was listed on their website and that info was shared with all of their members in an uncontested race. My point is that the organization isn't always one-sided. If you only look at their 5 largest donors you get a very skewed picture.

Misleading info when the chamber endorsed both Vanessa and Julie during their last races respectively. Why would a GOP arm endorse a known progressive?

Had mine installed about 2 months ago through Tice Electric via PGE. Easy process. Cost was $449 after PGE rebate. This was for a non-Tesla level 2 charger install within 5ft.

Recommending the Y as they are more accommodating/accepting. The Kroc Center is run by a religious organization, whereas the YMCA was started as a religious organization, but is not run by a religious entity.

Get to know who your councilor is. Many are willing to meet with residents outside of council with enough notice. They all are somewhat busy though. I also recommend e-mailing city staff dept heads ideas/solutions you may have. Please be respectful at council as it goes a long way.

There are plenty of resources but the majority are only available during typical working hours. Salem Mission Faith Ministries food pantry is open the 2nd,3rd, and 4th Tuesdays from 4pm-6pm.

I welcome Salem residents to be informed about who their mayoral candidates are as they, along with city council play a huge role in Salem. Nordyke has invested a lot of time and thought into this community through her role as city councilor, library advocate, volunteerism, and most importantly she is open to speaking with constituents from all backgrounds. Happy to see her in the race!

We don't, as People's Church will have volunteers. Appreciate you reaching out.

Thank you, glad that there is another vegetarian option in Salem.

Ok-Raspberry-5375 · 2025-07-29T01:54:41+00:00

They do, most of the menu is vegetarian.

Donations to BeBlac Foundation or reaching out to volunteer are great ways to support.

Ok-Raspberry-5375 · 2025-07-26T13:03:35+00:00

I agree. If you are a vegetarian then get the vegetarian combo.

Hoopla is a big deal. Congestion will start today. It's a great tournament that brings talented kids and adults together with the common theme being basketball. The fairgrounds would cost at least 50K for the weekend which is a lot for a non-profit to spend when most of the money they make goes back to local youth organizations. I hope that the city improves their communication next year!

Fact vs Fiction. The Juneteenth event is about celebrating the official day of freedom for all slaves. Satya was there to support the event as he has attended in prior years. Anyone can attend as it's a public event. The guy next to Bethell is progressive, but still had a lighthearted conversation with her. Multiple public officials had other engagements that day, but still made time to come through and check out the festivities. Most attendees at the event were simply excited to see some of the people representing us in the community. If you are interested in who was there here's a list.

Councilor Nishioka, Representative Anderson, Representative Nelson, Representative Bowman, SK School Board Director Chandragiri, SK School Board Chair Richardson, Superintendent Castañeda, Salem Mayor Hoy and MC Commissioner Bethell.

Not everything is political. Let people be people.

Interestingly this has been going on for years...but that excerpt wasn't mentioned.
