Town Talk with the Mayor

Greetings to my little town of Dayton! I would like to introduce myself for those of you that don’t know me. I came to Dayton 50 years ago and I am the oldest of seven kids. I’m married with four amazing kids and I have three grandkids with one currently on the way. They are my world for sure.

My Dad has been my inspiration for what I do, having him always there for me. He always said to me “money comes and goes but your friends are always there”. It's true. I feel rich here in Dayton to be part of a community that helps each other out.

As your mayor, I would like to invite anyone who would like to voice their concerns, to contact me at trinimarquez@daytonoregon.gov or call me at 503-899-0665. We can meet over a cup of tea or coffee if you are not able to attend a City Council meeting.

¡Saludos a mi pequeño pueblo de Dayton! Me gustaría presentarme para aquellos de ustedes que no me conocen. Llegué a Dayton hace 50 años y soy el mayor de siete hijos. Estoy casada, tengo cuatro hijos maravillosos y tengo tres nietos, uno de los cuales está en camino. Son mi mundo seguro.

Mi papá ha sido mi inspiración en lo que hago, teniéndolo siempre ahí para mí. Siempre me decía “el dinero va y viene pero tus amigos siempre están ahí”. Es cierto. Me siento rico aquí en Dayton por ser parte de una comunidad que se ayuda mutuamente.
