Cynthia Jerzylo
Candidate Statement: I'm Cindy Jerzylo your voice in Ward 1. Together, we've made progress, but there's more to do: better parking, stronger infrastructure, smoother traffic, affordable homes, and safer streets. On Election Day, I ask for your vote so we can keep building a Salem we're proud to call home.
Top Priorities:
Invest in stronger infrastructure- repairing roads, sidewalks, seawalls and replacing aging water pipes to keep Salem Safe and resilient.
Expand affordable housing options. Increase diverse choices for Salem residents, ensuring families, seniors, and young people can find quality homes at prices they can afford.
I'll keep working with the Transportation Commission to prioritize better traffic flow and make the Resident Parking System simple , fair, and accessible for all residents.
