Join me in voting for Lisa Gambee - Julie Whetzel,

From Julie Whetzel, Maupin - 

Years ago, I was a newly appointed interim board member for the White River Health District. I had a host of questions regarding option tax levies and funding for special districts and a variety of other topics. I emailed my list of questions to County Clerk Lisa Gambee, hoping that she could at least suggest resources where I could find the information I needed. Within the hour, I received both a phone call and a detailed follow up email from Lisa wherein she was able to answer all of my questions and more importantly, she explained the information within the larger context of how our tiny district fit into both county and statewide policies. I was deeply impressed by her depth and breadth of knowledge, her clear and concise answers, and her kindness and respect.

Fast forward to the present day and Lisa Gambee is now running for Wasco County Board of Commissioners Position 1. I have read her responses to questions in the S. Wasco County Times and again her depth and breadth of knowledge and extensive preparation surpasses others.

Within her role as Clerk and as a resident of Tygh Valley, Lisa has worked with citizens in The Dalles and all of the smaller communities throughout our county. She understands and shares our concerns regarding the lack of affordable housing, increasing economic diversity in our smaller communities, wildfire threat and aging infrastructure (particularly water systems). Lisa has concrete solutions to these concerns should she be elected. For me, the choice is clear. I hope you will join me in voting for Lisa Gambee for Wasco Co Commissioner Position 1 in May.
