Jane Lilley - Join me in voting for Lisa Gambee for Wasco County Commissioner

My first glimpse of Lisa Gambee occurred many years ago in Wamic, as she seemed to fly into the Barlow Gate Grange kitchen at the end of one of our long, July 4th breakfast fundraisers that had fed hundreds of diners that day.  Lisa was not a Grange member at that time. Nonetheless, she had rounded up many of her family members to join her and her husband John, as they simply took over the clean up at the end of that long, tiring day.  Lisa and her family scrubbed, washed, scoured, swept and mopped until the job was done.  And, it was well done.  That annual miracle went on for years.

I’ve come to know Lisa since that July event and what I saw that day is exactly who Lisa remain to this day, and then some.  She is a strong community member. She works incredibly well with a team. She literally rolls up her sleeves and dives into the hard work.  She doesn’t care how difficult or sloppy or unpleasant a job may be.  She works until the job is successfully completed and she accomplishes it all without complaint and always with the utmost respect for those with whom she is working.

Lisa’s excellent communication skills enable her to bridge divides which others might find daunting.   She listens carefully. She thinks through issues thoughtfully which leads to clear decisions and meaningful outcomes.   The respect she shows others while working on an issue is always evident, no matter if she happens to agree or disagree with someone else’s opinion. Lisa knows Wasco County extremely well and that knowledge gives her a wide angle view of the different needs in the various areas of our county.

We all deserve a County Commissioner like Lisa Gambee; a Commissioner who will lead with vision, transparency, energy, respect and accountability.  I hope that you join me in voting for Lisa Gambee for Wasco County Commissioner
