Councilor Stephanie Hirsch May Not Serve Full Term

While incumbent Councilor-At-Large Stephanie Hirsch will appear on the ORS endorsement ballot, she has informed ORS of the following:

"I have decided to be sure constituents and advocates know that, if I’m elected, I am not sure how much of this next term I will serve. Because of trying to juggle the Council work with some of the needs of my family, I haven’t been able to figure out whether or not and how long I can serve, if elected. (I wish I did have a clearer picture of what’s next for me, but unfortunately the election calendar is not lining up with the twists and turns of family obligations.) In terms of my campaigning efforts, I am forgoing accepting any donations. I will, though, continue to do some canvassing, focusing only on households that are unlikely to reach out to elected officials."
