Wendy Rush Knudson
Candidate for Waldport City Council
Keeping Waldport Wonderful, Together.
I believe in accountability, neutrality, and community stewardship. Together, we can preserve what makes Waldport special while working toward a strong future for everyone who calls our community home.


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. “

Community First
