Clark and Mannix
“I am endorsing Cathy Clark for Mayor of the City of Keizer for another term. Mayor Clark has been one of the more open Mayors for the City. She has been instrumental in ensuring the citizens of Keizer are heard when it comes to anything that involves the City of Keizer, whether that is at her coffee get-togethers; her attendance at the city-wie events and other events that affect the city; or, most importantly, at the City Hall meetings. She ensures that people are allowed to speak, and she LISTENS, making sure other members of the City Council and staff at those meetings do also. She will continue to be a great force for the Citizens of Keizer.”

See Full Recap

Police & Public Safety

Over the past decade, Keizer has transformed its police force with full staffing, advanced technology like body cams and park cameras, and new programs for youth and school safety. The city has improved livability by enforcing laws on fireworks, leash rules, and curbing gunfire threats. Keizer remains one of Oregon’s safest cities.

According to an article published in June of this year, Keizer is among top 10 safest cities in Oregon.

Economic Development

Ten years ago, Keizer struggled with foreclosures and stalled developments. Today, Keizer Station thrives with major employers, new businesses, revitalized River Road zoning, expanded housing options, and completed transportation projects, positioning the city for continued growth and success. Has helped secure $11.3M in Federal transportation grants.

Parks

Ten years ago, Keizer’s parks faced budget constraints, aging equipment, and limited resources. Today, a $4/month fee funds park maintenance, new playgrounds, rebuilt sports courts, and matching grants. Updated master plans and community involvement have revitalized Keizer’s parks and future projects.

 

Fiscal Management & Resources

Ten years ago, Keizer struggled with unfunded state mandates, recession impacts, and rising service costs. Today, Keizer’s financial stability has improved with new fees, strategic fund allocation, and ongoing community-based financial planning. The city successfully navigated the pandemic, stabilized essential services, and supports local businesses and tourism growth.

Cathy Clark envisions a Keizer where every resident thrives. She is working with all Keizer residents and businesses to build a city that we can be proud of, provide a safe community, and create a vibrant future.
