Tammy Kunz

I am running for Keizer City Council, Position 4, to bring my grassroots experience, neighborhood-level advocacy, and practical problem-solving directly to City Hall. Her I am driven by a deep commitment to ensuring that everyday residents have a strong, consistent voice in local government. Key motivations behind her campaign include: Empowering Neighborhoods: As a long-time neighborhood association leader, I have actively fought to protect and strengthen neighborhood associations—pushing back against budget reductions and advocating for policies that keep residents informed and directly involved in municipal decisions. Championing Community Safety: I have been dedicated to addressing critical infrastructure needs along high-traffic corridors in Keizer, such as Verda Lane, Chemawa Road, and Lockhaven Drive. Her focus is on implementing effective traffic-calming measures, enhancing pedestrian safety, and expanding neighborhood watch networks. Expanding Inclusive Governance: I am committed to modernizing how local government reaches the public. As I advocate for accessible civic participation through hybrid meeting infrastructure and multilingual outreach materials to ensure every diverse voice in Keizer is welcomed and heard. Bringing Professional Accountability: Backed by my education in business administration and project management, alongside my experience as a peer wellness support specialist, Tammy aims to bring fiscal responsibility, organizational efficiency, and compassionate leadership to city governance. Ultimately, I (Tammy Kunz) am running because I believe Keizer's future is brightest when local government actively listens, collaborates transparently, and shows up for every neighborhood.

For the past ten years, Tammy Kunz has called Keizer home, pouring her energy, passion, and organizational leadership into building a safer, more connected, and inclusive community for everyone. An experienced grassroots leader and dedicated public servant, Tammy believes that true municipal governance relies on active listening, transparent collaboration, and a relentless commitment to everyday residents.
