After being sworn in on Jan. 6 as the newest member of the three-person Port of Camas-Washougal Board of Commissioners, Cassi Marshall said she was obviously happy about the result of the November 2019 general election, which saw her win a tight race against incumbent commissioner Bill Ward, but for her, the campaign journey was equally important.
“I’m really pleased with how much I learned, how many people I got to talk to, (and how many) different perspectives from community members, city representatives and school districts (I received),” said Marshall. “I also learned a lot from the commission members and the staff here. There’s just been a tremendous amount of community input. It was fascinating to learn what most people think or know about the Port. I think I’m more excited now than I was on day one (of my campaign) because I know more.”
