I have really enjoyed campaigning during this election cycle and I am grateful for our community’s support! I felt a deep engagement with so many people, and it was wonderful to connect with old friends. It was invigorating to see that so many individuals have a sincere interest in community issues and that they were willing to share their ideas and listen to mine.
I do believe, in the end, we all want the same things:
We want a community that works together to solve
problems while preserving our village culture. We want
to see our community thrive while also focusing on
sustainable growth. We want to save our trees, our
landscapes and the environment.
We want to proactively manage Short Term Rentals so
we can benefit from their revenue while still maintaining
a livable community.
We are anxious to develop ways to provide housing for
our current and future workforce.
We want to search for ways our city can supplement its
revenue sources
I would be honored and excited to serve another term as one of Manzanita’s city councilors. I am really looking forward to hearing the ideas and perspectives of the new council team and I’m anxious to share with them the benefit of my experience. I know that combination will get us off to a fast and energized start in January.
I am personally motivated by challenges, inspired by creative energy and change, and I will bring stability and initiative to the tasks we will face. I am a problem solver and I will be wholly focused on getting things done.
The following three individuals, who have personal knowledge of my strengths and abilities relative to a city council seat, have graciously written endorsements and I am honored to share them with you here.. Retired State Representative Deborah Boone speaks to my understanding of how government works; Tillamook County Commission Mary Faith Bell comments on my leadership and consensus-building abilities, and Jenna Edginton, our newest city councilor, believes that my skills and experience will galvanize the entire council team toward positive action.
Retired State Representative Boone:
I have known Linda Kozlowski for several years, mostly through the emergency preparedness sector. I also served with her on the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB) board of directors and experienced first-hand the depth of her commitment to her community in Manzanita. Linda has earned the respect of the broader statewide emergency preparedness community and her experience in this sector has made her the Go-To person for elected officials along the Oregon coast. Linda understands how governments work from local to federal levels and she knows how to get things done. She was often in the committee rooms during legislative sessions helping to shepherd bills through the process and serving as an expert witness. Her ability to grasp the details of the issues of concern to Manzanita citizens make her valuable to the City Council. I can’t recommend her highly enough for this important position.
Tillamook County Commissioner Mary Faith Bell:
I enthusiastically endorse Linda Kozlowski for reelection to the Manzanita City Council. In my capacity as county commissioner, it has been my privilege to work with Linda on emergency preparedness issues, for which she is recognized statewide. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Linda’s leadership, her heart for service to the community and her ability to develop, nourish and maintain positive relationships with a wide range of people. Moreover, Linda is a dynamo, she accomplishes amazing things, and leads and inspires others to great works as well. Truly, it is accurate to say that Linda brings out the best in people, often more than they knew they were capable of. Linda’s continued leadership on the Manzanita City Council is in everyone’s best interest. Please vote for Linda Kozlowski.
Councilor Jenna Edgington:
Before I applied for the open position on City Council in August, I agreed to assist Linda with her re-election campaign. I have since attended several meetings with Linda and I continue to be impressed by her subject knowledge, professionalism, and her ability to work together as a team and compromise. With a virtually new city council and mayor I believe it is imperative that Linda Kozlowski have a seat at the table. She will enable the new Council to hit the ground running by being able to provide insight on past Council decisions and also her thorough understanding on how the City functions and the role of City Council. Linda has already been a tremendous help to me as I learn the ropes in my new role on Council.
As we approach election day, I urge you to vote for the candidates and issues that best represent your hopes and desires for our city, our county, and our state.
I hope you will choose to elect me to a city council seat and I promise that I will work hard to repay your trust and do the right things for Manzanita.
Don’t forget to VOTE!

Here’s an example of one of my concerns. The other day, I met someone I “sort of know” from
the community. Now, for reasons that will become apparent, I’m not going to identify her,
nor will I. The conversation went something like this. She, knowing I am a candidate for City
Council here in Wheeler, wanted to talk to me about the election. She wasted no time getting
straight to her point. She wanted to know who I was voting for. Now, I ordinarily keep that kind
of information close to the vest. But I believe she was genuinely interested in knowing how
one candidate was voting. So, I told her my vote went to, besides myself, Mary Leverette,
Heidi Stacks and Walt Porter. One thing led to another in our conversation until she pressed
me on why my vote didn’t go to even one incumbent. I said something like, “Well, there
aren’t that many of them running and besides, I wasn’t particularly happy with the outcome
when we voted two years ago”. At that point, she bristled and told me that she hadn’t voted
for any of them. In fact, when pressed, she really couldn’t remember when she had last voted in a local election. Well, it was then that I got on my soapbox and told her pretty much what I’m using here to relate to you.
Voting at our local level is so important. Every vote counts and – as we have all heard on more
than one occasion, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain!”
So, come on, 75%. I know we can do it! Please vote in your municipal election.

EIGHT TREASURES QIGONG
In November I will be teaching Eight Treasures Qigong in the beautiful sanctuary space at St Catherine’s church in Nehalem
It is one of the earliest Qigong forms in China dating back to the 12th century when it was developed to help Buddhist Monks prevent problems with joints and tendons.The practice of Eight Treasures allows us to move more freely and keep qi or life energy moving throughout our body.
It is designed to build strong bones, make tendons more flexible, and strengthen organ-energy systems.
I also will be teaching a self massage practice, calming breathing techniques, and will end with a compassionate heart meditation.
Wear something comfortable to move in.
Masks are not required but please wear one if that makes you more comfortable.
A little bit about me…. I became interested in Qigong over 30 years ago. In the last 10 years I have studied with Ling Gui International Healing Qigong School and am certified in several of their Medical Qigong forms. I love to share this powerful healing tool.
Warmly,
Janet Maher

On the one hand, you know what you want, and how to get there.
On the other hand, you feel anxious and (perhaps secretly) like you are not good enough, and so, you avoid doing what you know needs to be done.
Or perhaps you say terrible things to yourself, putting yourself down about your weight, your appearance, your abilities, and more.
It’s time for a change.

hypnotherapy practitioner, invites you to take part in a group HeartHealing taster hypnotherapy session to move you from anxious and being mean to yourself to loving yourself unconditionally.

If you are still pondering Manzanita City Council choices, this is for you. I thought a quick recap of my campaign activities would help you understand why I’m the right choice.
I announced my candidacy in May. Since then, I’ve hit the ground running—taking the pulse of our community with an open mind by meeting with residents and genuinely listening.
Here’s a recap of my efforts on the campaign trail:
In my campaign announcement, I immediately discussed the great need for a clear vision for our future and better planning…with a sense of urgency. I’ve heard your concerns about livability, the ongoing city hall project, closing trails to access the beach, dune grading, loss of wildlife habitat, and construction and light noise. I’ve understood your hope for a diverse and vibrant community that welcomes visitors but, first and foremost, meets the needs of the people who call Manzanita home. And I believe there are solutions and that we can find common ground if we work together earnestly and respectfully.
I’ve provided complete transparency. I told you who I am and what I do. While I have no prior government experience, I do have 30 years of experience as a medical professional, working with teams to evaluate, diagnose, and treat complex problems. This experience is what I have to contribute, and I’ll use it as my starting point to bring about a positive change in our community. The problems we face are complex but not unsolvable.
Continuing the spirit of transparency, I created a blog that tracks my daily activities—whom I’ve met with, what I’ve learned from them, what I’m reading, what I’m attending, and what I’m thinking, along with stories about my personal life. Check it out: bit.ly/bradsdailyblog
I also invite you to read all of my posts on North Coast BBQ bit.ly/Brad_BBQ . If you combine this writing effort with what’s chronicled on my blog, you will see that I’ve done the work.
My campaign has been creative, respectful, and dedicated to meeting residents face-to-face—not a bombardment on social media. Instead, I’ve focused on building the case of why my experience matters. We all have our own styles, our own history, and our own ways of learning and making decisions—everyone needs a seat at the table, and I’m determined to provide one for you.
Our democracy allows you to decide which leaders will help move us forward. To this end, I have done my best to earn your vote.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, and I welcome your feedback. You can contact me at MayerleforManzanita@gmail.com. Feel free to visit my website: bit.ly/MayerleforManz And while you’re there, check out the unsolicited endorsements from voters I have met along the way: bit.ly/votingforbrad
Sincerely,
Brad

I already have a call into Pickles Transport but would like back up local movers for possible last minute move for early next week. Please let me know of any interested parties. Googling movers is a nightmare of third party scammers out of the east coast. Looking for local help. thanks. This is a 100% for certain but want to get a head start on contacts. Ultimately I can rent a truck but need able bodies. I prefer a professional local mover. thanks
