To the editor:

In the race for Position 3 on the Wasco County Board of Commissioners, we are very fortunate to have Kathy Schwartz as a highly qualified candidate with a track record of effective administrative experience with the Wasco and Sherman County Health Department. She will bring transparency and citizen input to county government because she listens and asks the tough questions. She is committed to engaging all the communities of Wasco County in forming policy and she has the heart of a proven public servant in her career as a registered nurse.
