Wilsonville Chamber Endorses Tom Hughes

The Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce is making history this election season by endorsing business-friendly political candidates. We are pleased to announce that in July your board of directors approved the Government Affairs Committee’s recommendation to endorse Tom Hughes for Metro Council President. His leadership, strong record of economic development, and his ability to bring people together made him the best choice for the Wilsonville business community.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce. Oregon’s businesses are the economic engines and job creators for our region,” said Hughes. “I look forward to working with you to help grow our economy and create new jobs in Clackamas County.”

While both Tom Hughes and Bob Stacey, former director of 1000 Friends of Oregon, are impressive candidates, Hughes’ understanding of the interconnection between Metro and business issues such as transportation, urban growth, and livability will be critical to the economic vitality of the south metro region.
