What Dan Stands For
A thriving Ashland means people can afford to stay, city services work well, schools and local partners are supported, and Council stays focused on practical solutions.
Rethinking utility assistance and bringing innovative housing policy models from other Oregon cities to help workers, families, students, and seniors on fixed incomes.
Expanding housing people can actually afford through partnerships like Sunstone Housing Collaborative and practical, compassionate homelessness solutions.
Transparent, accountable budgeting that preserves essential services. Dan has overseen multimillion-dollar budgets and knows how to cut overhead without cutting community.
Supporting the City's Climate and Energy Action and Community Wildfire Protection plans while navigating real tradeoffs with limited resources.
Ensuring the city actively supports the Ashland School District and SOU's vitality — because thriving schools are the heart of a thriving community.
Shared goals, clear roles, civil discourse, and accountability. Dan brings collaboration, curiosity, and reliability to every governing body he serves.

I know how to work with people, ask good questions, manage budgets, and stay focused on practical results. Ashland deserves that on City Council.
— Dan Ruby
