Lisa Gambee is a Leader - Suzanne Steffen

Wasco County has been fortunate to have many dedicated public servants, but few have shaped our county’s direction as meaningfully as Lisa Gambee. As voters consider who is prepared to serve on the Wasco County Commission, I hope they will look closely at Lisa’s record of thoughtful, forward‑looking leadership.

As County Clerk, Lisa was more than an administrator - she was a key contributor to the county’s long‑term vision. She played a key role in developing the Wasco County Vision, Mission, and Core Values statements, work grounded in deep listening and collaboration. Her work as County Clerk continues to influence decision‑making across departments today.

Lisa also helped design and launch the county’s Leadership Summit sessions, which strengthened communication, built shared purpose, and supported the development of future county leaders. These sessions have had a lasting impact on workplace culture and cross‑department cooperation.

She was also instrumental in shaping the county’s 100% LOVE culture initiative, focused on respect, accountability, and service. This effort reflects her belief that strong communities grow from strong relationships — a belief she has put into practice throughout her career.

Lisa’s leadership is rooted in integrity, collaboration, and a genuine desire to help Wasco County thrive. She brings experience, steadiness, and a deep understanding of how county government works and how it can work better.

For these reasons, I urge you to vote for Lisa Gambee for Wasco County Commissioner.

Suzanne Steffen, Mosier
