Message from Mayor Scott Keyser

I want to thank everyone for their kind words. I also have a few special thank-yous.

First, to my incredible wife—Kelly, I love you. You've stood by me and supported me as I've received the highest honor I could ever achieve as mayor.

To Dan Huff and the entire city staff—thank you for teaching me how to be the mayor I am today. Thank you for putting up with my craziness and always keeping me grounded.

To the people of Molalla—thank you for your support and for believing in a guy who started this journey with no idea what he was doing. We truly have a great city.

And finally, to my council. We don't always agree on everything, but we always keep it classy. Thank you for your incredible hearts and minds, and for making this job so rewarding.
