Councilor Paige Hook began her term on the City Council in January 2019.

“I was born and raised in the Willamette Valley. Both of my parents were firefighters – my mother was also a nurse. My grandfather was a union worker in our local cannery, and my great grandfather worked on a farm just outside of Stayton. I earned my Associate of Arts Transfer degree from our local community college in Salem, and transferred to Western Oregon University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Science with a concentration in criminal justice emphasizing in crime analysis, and a minor in psychology. I have spent my career dedicated to serving others in our beautiful state over the last 15 years.

I’m a working mother, paying off student loans from college and raising three young children, dedicated to give back to our community. We all have a vested interest in the growth, development and safety of our city, including the continuation of making Stayton a great place to live, work, learn, and play. I want to shape this city with you. Let’s co-create a Stayton for all of us where our kids grow up to know and see a town that cares about them and their future. I want to hear your voice — especially if you are wondering if your voice matters — because it does matter. I will represent all people and all families. I’m your voice on the Stayton City Council. “
