Piercy's funding an advantage
(In the Register
Guard, May 13)
"Kitty Piercy has 293 donations of $50 or less totaling
$11,251, while Nathanson totals only $800 in small contributions.
This is irrefutable evidence that Piercy has broad support from
many different constituencies in Eugene, and lends weight to
her slogan, "A mayor for all Eugene."
TRIS O'SHAUGHNESSY
Piercy connects with citizens (In
the
Register Guard, May 13)
"Due to the differences in each candidate's ability to
connect with citizens and resolve political challenges, I believe
voters will find Piercy to be the more effective choice as Eugene
mayor."
DAVID GUSSET
Piercy has best economic plan
(In the Register
Guard, May 13)
"Kitty Piercy's economic proposals are validated by clear
patterns in America's history. She advocates investing in Eugene's
physical (and social) infrastructure. Historically, such policies
have been productive, sending positive ripple effects through
the locales in which they are implemented."
GORDON DAVID KASWELL
Piercy has stayed on course (In
the Register
Guard, May 12)
"Piercy is a bright, gracious, warm, caring and thoughtful
person who serves, always with good humor, as a role model.
She empowers all people to be the best they can be."
JENNIFER GUSSET
Eugene needs progressives (in
the Register
Guard, May 11)
"Voters interested in a change for the better will choose
Kitty Piercy for mayor, and Bonny Bettman, Betty Taylor and
Andrea Ortiz for City Council. Their backgrounds and words offer
promise of city government more attuned to all citizens."

Piercy's plan would create jobs
(In the Register
Guard, May 10)
"Piercy's plan proposes a number of specific initiatives
to help local businesses and create jobs, such as local sourcing
by public agencies, taking a new look at enterprise zones to
aid local businesses, streamlining the review and permitting
process for new development, and an initiative to recover and
restore polluted industrial lands within the urban growth boundary
to productive use." See the Plan here.
GREG McLAUCHLAN
Piercy has a vision for Eugene (In
the Register
Guard, May 9)
"In a life of long service, Piercy has proven her ability
to lead by including others in the creation of a vision."
FRANK GIBSON
Voting With Envy (In the Eugene
Weekly, May 6)
"I'll mark my ballot with excitement and a little envy
this spring. I'm excited to vote for Bonny Bettman and Kitty
Piercy. Candidates so competent and committed to conservation
and compassionate community values can always count on my vote."
Martin Champion, Eugene
Piercy has business support, too.
(In the Register
Guard, May 6)
"...While one might easily conclude that the Eugene Chamber
of Commerce and its political action committee, C-PAC, represent
the business community, it is in fact true that many modern
business perspectives are not well represented by those groups.
Many Eugene business people support Kitty Piercy for mayor.
I am among them, and I ask of you, please don't neglect to vote."
DOUG CURRY
Piercy's vision right for Eugene
(In the Register
Guard, May 5)
Piercy's plan reflects some of the most creative thinking that
has been occurring in the field of urban economic development:
forming public-private partnerships, promoting sustainable growth
and nurturing industry clusters, encouraging downtown revitalization
that includes a commitment to affordable housing and converting
brown fields into productive uses. Her approach is oriented
toward crafting new forms of social partnership that bring together
business, labor and civic organizations to broker solutions
that benefit the entire community.
BOB BUSSEL
Piercy is a proven leader (Register
Guard Letters, May 3,)
"Piercy has the credentials of a proven leader earned
across many forms of governance; she is a person with
vision and a wealth of governmental and private-sector
experience. Her ability to work successfully with diverse
factions at both the state and local levels will be effective
in mobilizing the forces necessary to revitalize our economy,
restoring Eugene's positive image, and mediating the City
Council's divisiveness that has harmed Eugene's ability
to attract and retain businesses." BARBARA ANN PERRY
and ROBERT L. WEISS
Piercy offers a voice of reason
"There are two areas where I think Kitty Piercy truly
separates herself from her opponent. One is her outreach
and involvement with Eugene's minority communities. The
other is the absence of an entrenched identity on the
City Council."

Attitude
and openness are keys to effective leadership.
My first memory of Kitty Piercy was 22 years
ago, when I was volunteering with a pro-choice advocacy
group of which she was the leader. I was struck by how
she facilitated the group's meetings, encouraged equal
participation, and followed through on commitments."

"While I do not know Nancy Nathanson personally,
Mary's recap of her behavior and voting record are most
concerning."
