Letter to the Editor: A voice to believe in

Darcy Long-Curtiss did not ask me to write this letter. I asked her if I could write it. I wanted other people to know the Darcy that I know, a fun, honest and very caring individual.

Darcy and I do not have the same letter beside our name when it comes to our politics. In today’s climate that means to some that I have no choice. “Follow the party line”. I am not that type of voter. I vote with my brain by doing my own research and asking questions. I have asked Darcy tons of questions. Do we agree on everything? No, who does.

Does she listen to my thoughts? Yes, and respects them. She knows had to work with others.

Some of you may think you know Darcy Long-Curtiss because you have heard others provide an opinion. I have an opinion too and it is based on facts of knowing and working with her during our combined efforts of trying to help our community. I have full confidence in Darcy. She will represent the people of District 59 with enthusiasm and spend the time finding solutions for our region.

I support Darcy not because she is a female, a democrat or a republican but because she has the skills and background that will help the people in rural Oregon find a voice they can believe in and count on.
