Reflecting on January and Looking Ahead
“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” Rev. Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

Dear Eugene Community,
As we prepare to step into a new month, I want to express my unwavering commitment to our vibrant and diverse community. Together, we are writing a story of progress, inclusivity, and resilience, guided by the principles of community, progress, and equity that our campaign holds dear.
**Community Appreciation: **
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the supporters who have reached out and spoken up amidst recent mischaracterizations. Your support strengthens my resolve to serve this community with dedication and integrity.
**Crisis Response and Community Unity: **
The recent ice storm laid bare the vulnerabilities faced by some of our community’s most vulnerable members. I commend the collective efforts of community members, volunteers, and first responders who stepped up in the face of adversity. Your resilience embodies the spirit of Eugene.
As your future mayor, I am committed to advocating for a more robust and timely response to inclement weather. No one should be left without adequate shelter. I pledge to work towards ensuring facilities and volunteers are in place to meet the needs of those who are unhoused or find their homes insecure during challenging weather conditions.
**Call to Action:**
Now, more than ever, I invite you to be an active part of this movement for positive change. Share our campaign information with friends, family, and neighbors. Visit our website to stay informed, and feel free to reach out via email to voice your concerns and ideas.

Your involvement is crucial, and no contribution is too small. Whether you can spare your time or make a modest donation, your support fuels our grassroots campaign. Visit our website to volunteer or donate, and let’s build a future for Eugene that reflects the values we hold dear.
In just three months, the election will shape the trajectory of our community. Let’s work together to create a Eugene that uplifts every resident, regardless of their circumstances. Share, engage, and let’s make our voices heard.
Thank you for being an integral part of this history making journey.
Warm regards,
Shanae’ Joyce-Stringer
Candidate for Mayor of Eugene
