Keeping Waldport Wonderful, Together.

Why I’m Running.

I’m running for City Council because I care deeply about Waldport and the people who live here.

I believe residents deserve leaders who listen, communicate openly, and make thoughtful decisions that serve the entire community.

My goal is simple: to help keep Waldport a place where neighbors support neighbors and everyone has an opportunity to be heard.

“There are no problems, Only opportunities for creative solutions. “

Meet Wendy

I grew up in La Grande, Oregon, spent more than 13 years serving the Oregon Coast’s vacation rental community, and continue to give back through volunteer work, CERT and CPR instruction, and community events.

When I’m not volunteering, you’ll usually find me with my husband, our dogs, my grandchildren, or creating through Elegant Embers. Read More About Wendy →

Community First

“I don’t believe leadership is about having all the answers. I believe it’s about listening, learning, and bringing people together to find solutions.”
