We support Ashley Thasher for (Okanogan) county commissioner, District 2.

Ashley has demonstrated her willingness to work hard to understand the needs of constituents and county government. She has already invested significant personal time in meeting with a number of county department heads, mayors, and citizens groups. We support her interest in strengthening our local health department. She has been the only one of the remaining candidates to testify before the county commissioners against moving juvenile corrections out of the county, and is against privatizing county jobs. Ashley is our best bet for transparent county government responsive to the needs of all.
