Gambee for Commissioner - Debi Ferrer

There’s nothing more crucial and more sacred to our democratic republic than safe, secure, and accessible elections.  Lisa Gambee ensured we had just that during the decade she served as Wasco County Clerk. Now she’s running for County Commissioner (position 1) and there’s no one better suited to step into this role than Lisa.  

She managed our elections (and plenty of other county clerk business) during the Covid shutdown and she managed them during the turmoil of national false claims of election fraud. She did so with professionalism and grace, with the confidence of a leader who is organized, skilled at solving problems, and determined to get things right for the people she serves.  

I first met Lisa when I attended a public demonstration on how voting and elections are conducted in the county. The presentation gave me great confidence in the security of our local elections, and Lisa’s clear explanations and thoughtful answers to our questions reinforced that trust. I later volunteered as an election observer for several elections, which gave me additional opportunities to witness the high quality of Lisa’s work with her staff.

I also had the opportunity to work on a joint city and county ad hoc committee with Lisa for about a year and a half. She was, once again, professional, hard-working, and a very skilled leader. 

I’ll be casting my vote for Lisa Gambee to be my next county commissioner and I hope you’ll do the same!  (Plan to vote early if you mail your ballot back – the post office isn’t as efficient as it once was.)
