We need a truly independent and non-partisan leader in local government…For me, Marcus Swift is that leader.

Rebecca understands that successful School Board Directors must work hard to research decisions, must enter the position with their minds free from personal preexisting assumptions about students, teachers and administration, and should focus on current realities and necessities to meet the needs of our students.

Columbia Gorge Community College is a great asset to our region. Nate Stice will be a major asset to its board of education.

Who we elect in our elections matters, more so than ever. That’s why we need experienced people like John Nelson leading North Wasco County School District 21. John is one of the most invested and dedicated community volunteers I’ve worked with. I saw firsthand John’s passion for our community when we worked together on The Dalles Main Street projects where he brought a strong vision and willingness to roll up his sleeves to get things done.

I would encourage everyone in zone #4 to vote for John Nelson who is running for reelection to the North Wasco County School board. John is not only a wonderful and kind person, he is a long-time resident and dedicated advocate for this community.

When one looks at Nate’s work, it makes sense that his career has seen him in places that leverage those skills, including advocating for students and higher education at the University of Oregon, and his current position helping communities in our area work through pressing issues. His experience will add additional insight to the group of thoughtful leaders on the CGCC campus.

John Nelson is a devoted community servant who has earned the right to be re-elected to the School District No. 21 Board.

I wholeheartedly recommend re-electing John Nelson to the North Wasco School Board.

The most immediate hope lies in House Bill 2006 (HB 2006) which is currently working its way through the Oregon Legislature. HB 2006 restablishes the shelter siting flexibility that was originally allowed (for a 90 day window) in 2020 by House Bill 4001.

We want to bring the upcoming SDS Lumber Company sale to your attention. We ask you to consider how you might best serve the county in this process.

If you value independence, respect, and integrity over unproductive partisanship, Arlene Burns is your choice for Oregon State Representative District 59. Three different parties have chosen Arlene as their candidate, and both of Oregon’s senators have endorsed Arlene. This is because Arlene understands that working together with people from different backgrounds and diverse points of view is the only way to solve the complex problems we face as a society.
