Katie Russ
McMinnville City Council • Ward 3
Growing Thoughtfully. Preserving What Matters.
I’m running for City Council because I believe we can welcome thoughtful growth while protecting the character, safety, and sense of community that make McMinnville such a special place to call home.
Meet Katie
Rooted in McMinnville. Ready to Serve.
Katie Russ is a longtime McMinnville resident, local Realtor®, small business professional, wife, and community volunteer who believes thoughtful leadership starts by listening.
She is running for City Council to help ensure McMinnville continues to be a place where families can thrive, businesses can succeed, and future generations can afford to live, work, and build their lives right here in our community.
Katie believes local government works best when it is transparent, practical, and focused on serving the people who call McMinnville home.
Why I’m Running
“I believe our best days are ahead.” Katie
McMinnville has always been a place where neighbors know each other, local businesses matter, and families put down roots.
As our city continues to grow, we have an opportunity to shape that growth thoughtfully—not by resisting change, but by planning for it responsibly.
I want to help ensure we remain a community where people can afford to live, businesses can thrive, and the qualities we all love about McMinnville are preserved for future generations.
