Re-elect Marc San Soucie to the Beaverton City Council on November 2!

Hello, Beaverton neighbors. I am running for re-election to the City Council, so I can continue to serve the City of Beaverton, and so we can keep Beaverton great!

Beaverton is Beautiful. It's Bold. It's Generous, Visionary, Successful, Desirable, Innovative, and Proud. Beaverton is a great community with great potential for more. This is an exciting time for Beaverton, with the Community Vision, the Civic Plan, downtown redevelopment, and more. It’s a challenging time given the economy and the needs of many of our citizens. I’ve worked hard to be a responsible, professional, collaborative leader for our city. I enjoy the great responsibility that comes with this work.

Accelerate Job Growth in Beaverton

We must foster new business creation, promote job growth, and recruit new business to Beaverton, including a significant business marketing program for our city. I’ve helped create our plans for business recruitment and marketing. I’ve helped rework our development code to make better use of limited employment land. I've gone out into the community and beyond to raise awareness of Beaverton's many great assets, and to energetically advertise our cityto the people, groups, and businesses who can help us reach the goals we’ve set out for ourselves.

I’ll keep my feet on the street to bring business to Beaverton.

Create a Great Downtown and Enhance Our Neighborhoods

We must achieve our Community Vision through an excellent Civic Plan, implemented with innovative tools and strong partnerships. I worked to define the Civic Plan process and get the Urban Renewal ball rolling. I established priority in our transportation plan for a walkable downtown and neighborhoods.

I’ll guide the City’s downtown redevelopment and our urban renewal program, making sure we get excellent results on time and on budget. I’ll strengthen the relationships we need to secure funding for transportation improvements.

Help Our Citizens in Need

I’ve pitched in to help the City partner with the many social service organizations that aid our residents in need. I’ve advocated for increased funding for social service partners.

Times are tough - we can’t stop until all who need help have access to assistance.

Celebrate Our Diversity As We Build Our Future

I love Beaverton’s great neighborhoods, great schools, great parks, and its fabulous diversity of people and cultures. I want to focus our civic work on the people who make up our wonderful and varied community.

Let’s celebrate together as we build our future.

Keep Running a Great City With Responsibility and Ambition

I’ve focused on improving Beaverton's efficient government, safe neighborhoods, arts and social culture, transportation, and clean air and water. I’ve worked to manage our finances and infrastructure efficiently. I've worked to increase dialogue and collaboration between our City Council, Mayor, and staff, so our work on your behalf is more focused, more efficient, and more successful. I've worked to increase opportunities for you, our tax-paying voters, to offer us guidance as we make decisions, start projects, and spend money to achieve the goals and satisfy the needs of our city.

I'll keep working to be creative, persuasive, and innovative, suggesting ideas or alternative approaches to problems and opportunities. We have many great opportunities for enhancement of our city, and I’ll keep working to make them happen.

I'm Positive, Professional, and Develop Great Partnerships

None of this is easy, but I will do my part to get the vital work done. I offer the experience and leadership skills gained over my long professional and volunteer career. I've served Beaverton residents in a number of ways - on the Planning Commission, the Committee for Citizen Involvement, and as a representative to the Joint Water Commission. I help my NAC, I help the Chamber of Commerce, and I help the city and its partners with a number of its public events and projects. I do this because I love Beaverton, and am very happy to give my time.

The people of Beaverton deserve elected leaders who do their work with responsibility, professionalism, and a thoughtful eye toward the future. I will always strive to be that kind of leader for Beaverton.

I hope to earn your vote in the November 2 election. Thank you!

“Marc is doing a fantastic job as a City Councilor. He brings a positive energy, thoughtfulness, and wide-ranging attention to detail that helps me, our staff, and the Council do better work for the City. We really need to keep Marc on the City Council.”

Mayor Denny Doyle

"We believe that Marc San Soucie has earned election to a four-year term… San Soucie understands the role of the council in setting public policy and priorities versus managing the day-to-day operations of City Hall. He supports the city’s visioning process and favors more emphasis on job creation... elect San Soucie ... to the Beaverton City Council."
