In Sarah's Words
Washington County Dems Interview
Sarah Silkie got the opportunity to do an interview with an endorser of hers, Washington County Democrats! Watch here Sarah discuss issues important to her and why she chose to run for City Council to be the change.
Speaking with Caitilin Baggot on XRAY.FM's Amplify Women
" I am running for council because I believe it is time for every day folks to step up and be the change that they want to see. "
" My top issues are really about effective governance. We’re talking transparency - where does our tax money go? And accountability - are we doing what we said we’re going to do?"
At a Bike Portland Happy Hour
"My favorite part of the night was when Silkie asked the crowd for feedback on bike lane design: Do folks like parking-protected lanes or more traditional, door-zone lanes next to drivers? She heard a bunch of great insights and opinions from a wide range of bicycle riders -- from a mom who rides with kids, from an older former racer. (And in a good sign of what type of person Silkie is, she emailed after happy hour to get a copy of the audio recording I made of the answers.)" - Jonathan Maus of Bike Portland
Advocating for wise use of Portland city budget
"I ask that you consider a commitment to no net addition of high-level management positions in implementing this transition. Even better would be reduction of high level management so resources could go to where they are needed most: on the frontline."

Oregon Voter Digest Interview
" Yes, there’s a lot of technological problems and there’s a lot of problems we can fix with technology, but I also keep seeing that we have a lot of good technology and the really big problem is that we don’t have the political will or we don’t have the leadership to implement those technologies. "
