I worked with Lisa Gambee when she was the county clerk and cannot speak highly enough of her warmth, intelligence, and integrity.  I worked several elections as a ballot processor and admire her composure and leadership.  When I heard she is running for county commissioner I was just thrilled. Lisa is intelligent and thoughtful, and committed to serving our community.  The fact that she is from south county means she will bring awareness of issues and a perspective from our wider community, not just The Dalles.  In these times, it takes courage to step up and take responsibility, and Lisa is just the person to help lead Wasco County.  I sincerely encourage your vote for Lisa for county commissioner.  Join me in voting for Lisa Gambee

Having worked with Lisa Gambee as our County Clerk through several elections, we know of her personal integrity, attention to detail and always above board adherence to the law. We can be confident that as a County Commissioner she not only knows of our entire county's varied needs, but has a deep commitment to serve those needs.

We were proud to work on elections with her during Covid when her priorities were for election integrity while protecting her election workers. We worked together to start doing live streaming of election processes which gave more people access to the work being done. It was a great example of how things could be improved when the public asks for it. We were even given a class in signature analysis. Observation streaming worked so well and was so transparent that our state coordinator asked to use her example to implement Gambee's method statewide.

Thinking outside the box, always being open to new ideas, listening to what constituents want, .Gambee's and her staff's ability to build consensus all contribute to our safe balloting system which is also audited by the state.

Lisa Gambee is willing to give even more of her time to this county she loves, and we very much admire that commitment. Let's elect her and keep her working for us!

I am writing to voice strong support for Lisa Gambee for Wasco County Commissioner. Commissioners play a vital role in the functioning and growth of our communities and I support the candidate who has not only exemplified integrity and transparency but has the experience to hit the ground running. 

During her decade as Wasco County Clerk, Lisa gained a deep understanding of county operations: elections, public records, budgeting processes, interdepartmental coordination, and direct service to county residents. Her work required constant collaboration with every county department and every community in Wasco County; she built solid, trusting relationships with local leaders, volunteers, and residents and developed a practical understanding of what people need and how county decisions affect their daily lives.

For many of Lisa Gambee’s years as County Clerk, I worked as a temporary election worker under her leadership. I witnessed her exemplary transparency and communication of the ballot intake and counting processes, careful adherence to the laws, excellent active listening skills, and calm, compassionate support of a steady stream of Wasco County citizens who arrived with questions and concerns. Every one had value in her County Clerk office.

I’m excited to cast my vote for Lisa Gambee, the candidate who has the experience to serve Wasco County from day one and has demonstrated the integrity and compassion to represent everyone in Wasco County. Please join me!

Wasco County, like most rural counties, faces many complex challenges.  For that reason, the upcoming election of a new County Commissioner is of utmost importance for local communities.  Having served as a Wasco County Commissioner from 2019-2022, I well understand that importance.  That is why I am asking you to support Lisa Gambee in the upcoming May 19th election.  Lisa served as the elected Wasco County Clerk for nine years where she oversaw and assured accurate elections, estate recordings and other vital county services.  I know Lisa to be a gifted leader, a relationship builder and a nice person who truly cares about improving the lives of every person who calls Wasco County home.  I urge you to
