The Star - News, views and advertising of the Grand Coulee Dam Area

I made the decision in 2012 to run for county commissioner to bring effective leadership to the county. I ran for reelection to continue that leadership of balancing budgets, adopting land use plans that were kicked down the road since 1965, and updating the county facilities plan. We did all of these things while maintaining a balanced budget and putting over $2 million dollars back into county roads. I am proud of my service and the work achieved by commissioners Campbell and DeTro.

Okanogan County has many great employees dedicated to their job, and I wish them all well and thank them for the opportunity to work with them.

Congratulations to Mr. Branch, and I invite him to now start attending the commissioners meetings and budget work sessions next week so he can start to understand the responsibilities of county commissioners.

Thank you to all my supporters, elected officials here and statewide, friends and my family for all your support through this political process.
