TAYLOR KRUEGER — Candidate for Lincoln City Council, Ward 2

PRACTICAL LEADERSHIP. RESPONSIBLE GROWTH. A STRONGER LINCOLN CITY.

LC is home…

Its future deserves thoughtful leadership.

I’m running for City Council because I believe Lincoln City can grow without losing the character, natural beauty, and neighborly spirit that make this place home.

My connection to Lincoln City is personal—and spans three generations.

My parents live in Roads End. My daughter attends Taft Elementary. And I own and operate a business within city limits.

I understand both the opportunities and challenges facing our community—and I care deeply about the future we're creating for the next generation.

WHY I'M RUNNING

Lincoln City deserves leadership that listens carefully, plans responsibly, and turns good ideas into measurable results.

My approach is straightforward:

Listen carefully.
Hear from residents, businesses, nonprofits and community organizations.

Plan responsibly.
Look at the facts, long-term costs and practical consequences.

Communicate openly.
Ask thoughtful questions and explain decisions clearly.

Work collaboratively.
Seek common ground without compromising accountability or ethical standards.

FIVE PRACTICAL PRIORITIES

🏠 Attainable Workforce Housing

Support housing solutions that help workers and families live in the community where they work.

🚒 Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness

Strengthen community readiness and support dependable emergency response.

🛣️ Roads & Infrastructure

Plan responsibly for dependable infrastructure and long-term maintenance.

🏪 Locally Owned Businesses

Support the entrepreneurs and locally owned businesses that contribute to Lincoln City's economy and community character.

🌊 Our Coast & Devils Lake

Protect the natural resources that define Lincoln City and matter to future generations.

EXPERIENCE THAT TRANSLATES TO CITY GOVERNMENT

I bring more than a decade of experience across housing, real estate, property management, land development, home-building, finance and organizational leadership.
