2016 Endorsements:

Register-Guard Endorsement:

“Carlson’s grounding in public policy and her understanding of the implications of a new energy economy would be useful to EWEB — as would her perspective as a young mother, a perspective the utility board currently lacks…The drive that Carlson has shown in her campaign, and her comprehensive grasp of utility issues, make her the candidate likely to contribute the most as EWEB moves toward an uncertain future. Voters in the 6th and 7th wards should elect Sonya Carlson.”

Eugene Weekly Endorsement:

“Carlson’s impressive academic record in energy sustainability, her organizational abilities and her skills of persuasion will help EWEB build stronger partnerships. EWEB must collaborate well with lawmakers, agencies and the Eugene community. Carlson thinks big but also appreciates the devilish details of managing our critical water and energy resources. She’s someone to watch as she takes her first step to an elected position.”
