Letter to the editor: Yes Arnold

As we move toward the November election, I urge Klickitat County residents to vote Pat Arnold for County Commission. Having lived in this county for over 20 years, I have yet to see a more qualified candidate.

So many people in District 1 are convinced of her abilities, that the number of write-in votes in the Primary garnered her a spot on the November election ballot, much to her surprise!

As our county transitions into a more diversified economy, we need someone in the office who has the vision to help us grow in a sensible way that is beneficial to us all, and the ability to communicate in a way that we can all understand.

She is committed to protecting farmland, forestland and natural resources, so we can remain self-sufficient.

She will encourage small businesses and affordable housing for young working families and senior citizens, so that generations can thrive in the communities they know and love.

Pat Arnold has volunteered regularly in the county, working with diverse interests to build consensus.

You will always see her at county functions, and she will always listen to your concerns. Please vote for Pat Arnold on November 8th!
