Our County Deserves Leadership We Can Trust

For almost a decade, Lisa has served Wasco County with integrity, transparency, and accountability. As County Clerk, she safeguarded our elections, strengthened public trust, and ensured every vote counted, fairly and securely.

Now, she’s ready to bring that same steady leadership to the Wasco County Commission.

I’m Lisa Gambee, and I’m running for County Commissioner because I believe we deserve a leader who listens, shows up, and understands that government only works when it works for you.

Before public service, Lisa built a career in brand strategy and entrepreneurship, sharpening her ability to communicate with clarity, think creatively, and lead teams toward meaningful results.

With her record of collaboration, strategic planning, and countywide relationship-building, Lisa is ready to serve as Wasco County Commissioner with insight, fairness, and a steady hand.

  • Uphold ethical, transparent decision-making

  • Call for accountability in county operations

  • Strengthen public trust in county government

Proven Service. Trusted Leadership.

Lisa’s leadership is tested, not theoretical. She understands county government from direct experience and knows how decisions affect staff, budgets, and residents. Her approach is:

  • Thoughtful, informed, and responsible

  • Grounded in experience, not politics

  • Focused on long-term stability for Wasco County

From the South County to the Whole County

Lisa understands Wasco County because she lives in the heart of it. With countywide experience stretching from Mosier to Antelope, she knows that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. She will:

  • Represent rural, small-town, and urban voices equally

  • Strengthen collaboration across communities

  • Ensure county decisions reflect real local needs

“Wasco County needs steady leadership that understands the system, respects the community, and prepares us for the realities we already face—fire, flooding, and growth. I’m running to make the county more resilient, more transparent, and more reliable.”

I’m not just running to represent you; I’m running to work alongside you.
