2008 Election Endorsements
EW's choices in selected measures and contested races


  • Mayor of Eugene - KITTY PIERCY
  • Jim Torrey, a pro-Bush, pro-war, anti-abortion, failed Republican candidate for the state Senate, is spending a record half-million dollars in developer and gravel pit money to unseat Democrat Mayor Kitty Piercy. Torrey, a former highway billboard salesman, would pay back his big donors with urban sprawl and environmental destruction. Torrey refuses to say how he would pay for his big spending plans for cops and potholes. The anti-oversight police union is one of his biggest campaign contributors. While Torrey promises divisive, destructive partisanship, Piercy has sought collaboration and compromise in her effort to be a mayor for all Eugene. Piercy has worked hard to clean up the pits downtown, fix city streets and establish police accountability. Piercy's Sustainable Business Initiative is already establishing Eugene as an attractive place for tomorrow's high paying green jobs. Vote for a mayor for all Eugene, not for a Republican for all Eugene's developers.
