The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter

Good morning, Salem.
Our stories on local legislative races are rolling out today so you can learn more about the candidates seeking your vote.
We’re still interested in looking into claims on candidate flyers and ads, so if you spot something about a local race you think deserves checking, send it to Managing Editor Rachel Alexander at [email protected].
Ballots for voters will be mailed out late next week in Marion and Polk counties.
And if you’re already sick of the election, don’t worry – our team has stories in the works this week about a unique Halloween event, local fiber artists and more to give you a breather.
Here’s a bit of news to get your day started. You can find all of our stories anytime by heading to our website.
