A New Generation of Leadership
Wilsonville, OR July 2026 – Wilsonville-raised educator and community leader Adrienne Scritsmier has announced her candidacy for Wilsonville City Council. Scritsmier is running to help ensure that Wilsonville remains a welcoming and forward-looking community where families, businesses, and neighborhoods can thrive.
A graduate of Wilsonville High School, Adrienne returned to Wilsonville in 2018 with her husband and son, looking for the sense of community and belonging that she grew up with. “I moved away to go to college, and the longer I was away from Wilsonville, the more I appreciated what a special place Wilsonville is. Now, there is nowhere else I want to live. After 15 years living across Oregon, I returned home to serve my community and use my perspective to make our institutions more accessible and responsive to the people.”
“As a public servant and educator, I am deeply invested in Wilsonville and Clackamas County,” said Adrienne Scritsmier, the Community Education Coordinator at Clackamas Community College. “I love my day job because I love my community. I view civic engagement the same way. I first joined a city board in 2020 because I wanted to ensure that a new generation of Wilsonville students could have the same great experiences I had growing up here.”
Scritsmier’s civic roots in the community run deep. Her engagement began as a fifth-grade student ambassador to Wilsonville’s Sister City, Kitakata, Japan. She had the honor of returning to Kitakata in 2024 to represent the city once again and served on the Wilsonville Kitakata Sister City Advisory Board until December 2025, when she was appointed to the city’s Budget Committee. Now, Scritsmier is running for City Council to ensure that working families see themselves reflected in local leadership, focusing her campaign on affordability, infrastructure, and sustainable economic prosperity. “I believe that Wilsonville can be an inclusive community, where every person feels seen, heard, and safe,” Scritsmier said. “However, costs are rising rapidly, and I am deeply concerned about how this impacts our residents.”
To address critical infrastructure, Scritsmier argues that upgrading the Boone Bridge must remain a top priority before disaster strikes. She also strongly advocates for targeted traffic studies and mitigation efforts to prevent Wilsonville’s notorious I-5 congestion from impacting local streets. When it comes to economic growth, Scritsmier draws a firm line on sustainability. “We need to welcome businesses and industries that provide living-wage and union jobs, so that the people who work here can afford to live here,” she explained. “But I do not support new businesses that harm our natural resources or drive up environmental and financial costs for residents. Specifically, the addition of new data centers to Wilsonville would be harmful to our community, and it is not something I support.”
Guided by a commitment to transparency, collaboration, and long-term stewardship, Scritsmier is running to build a community where every resident feels heard, valued, and represented. As a lifelong Oregonian who proudly returned to her hometown, she is ready to help shape Wilsonville’s future.
