Bob Buck welcomed Mayor Julie Hoy of the City of Salem to the KBZY Studio for her monthly visit today. Mayor Julie Hoy discussed her election thoughts, 2026 goals, the Latino Business Alliance, Awesome 3000, and ribbon cuttings. Listen to the full interview for all the details!

Yesterday’s results were not what we had hoped for, but I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported this campaign, believed in our vision for Salem, volunteered their time, shared conversations, knocked doors, made calls, and showed up for our community over these many months.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with the League of Women Voters of Marion & Polk Counties as part of their Your Vote Counts interview series. These conversations are designed to help residents learn more about local leadership, priorities, and the work happening across our community.
