Meet the 8 candidates running for 4 Salem-Keizer School Board seats

Eight candidates are running for four open seats on the Salem-Keizer School Board.

The open positions in 2025 are in Zone 1, which covers West and south Salem; Zone 3, which covers southeast Salem; Zone 5, which covers east Salem; and Zone 7, which covers central Salem and Keizer.

The races are nonpartisan. However, two political action committees are largely funding opposing slates of candidates for each seat.

One slate is backed by Community for Salem-Keizer Schools, a coalition of the district’s labor unions, Stand for Children, Marion-Polk-Yamhill Central Labor Chapter of Oregon AFL-CIO, Racial Justice Organizing Committee and PCUN, Oregon’s farmworker union.
