Who We Are

Logo for Shady Cove Matters political action committee focused on transparency and accountability.

Who We Are

Shady Cove Matters Political Action Committee (SCM-PAC) is a non-partisan political action committee focused on matters associated with the City of Shady Cove.  Our efforts are strictly local -- we are not engaged in support of state or federal-level candidates.

Our Goals

  • Advocate for better government, transparency and financial accountability within the City of Shady Cove
  • Develop programs and policies that get Citizens involved in City Government
  • Find, train and support new candidates to run for City Mayor and Council Elections
  • Promote tourism and business within the City of Shady Cove


Major areas of focus include adherence to City Charter & Rules of Government, respect for Citizen input, and transparent reporting of financial and audit issues.   Read more on our goals here. 

Join Us

If you are interested in joining us, and learning how you can help, please fill out our contact form on the home page.  Please be patient with us, as we are still getting started and it may take us a few days to get back to you.  

Interested in running for City Council or Mayor? Let's talk!!

In the upcoming November 2026 General election there will be a rare opportunity to replace almost all of the City Council  (including the unelected appointees).  There will be three open spots for Council Members, and an election for a new Mayor. We want to help find and support new candidates for City Government.  If you are interested in running for an open position, drop us a line. 

Ideas to Move the City Forward

While our immediate focus is on the recall, we recognize that we need plans to actually move the City forward.  We hope to develop those plans in partnership with interested members of our community.  Read some initial thoughts on our vision.
