Turk is a strong addition to Camas Council To be an effective elected representative I think it requires a focus on process, information gathering (through listening, reading, and participation), fact-checking, balancing big-picture with the details, then consensus building and/or compromising to reach a decision.
Turk will be an effective voice We are privileged to have Shannon Turk running for the Ward 3 position of the Camas City Council.
McDaniel considers all sides I have known Jennifer McDaniel for many years, and I believe she is an effective, dedicated member of our City Council. Not only does she do her own research when faced with tough issues, she considers all sides, and ultimately puts Washougal first when making her decisions.
ECFR incumbents are effective The majority of the East County Fire and Rescue Board of Commissioners is up for re-election this year. Collectively, Gary Larson, John Clancy and Jack Hoober have over 52 years of experience. As a 17-year resident, and a past fire commissioner for ECFR, I witnessed firsthand the exceptional performance of these individuals.
City Council made well thought out decision Watching our City Council deal with the Farrell House unclassified use permit after receiving a recommended approval by our Planning Commission was most rewarding. They did their homework and were well prepared to deliberate the pros and cons of this permit. Their focus was on maintaining the quality of living of our residential neighborhood, not how to make a business fit among well-established family homes.

Evergreen Terrace residents are proud of their neighborhood Twenty years ago, we purchased our home in the Evergreen Terrace Neighborhood. At that time, we were informed that this was a neighborhood "in transition."
