Message from a soldier I am a Washougal resident and local middle school history teacher who enlisted in the Army in 2008. Today, I said goodbye to my family to join my team in deploying to Afghanistan for a year. Since so many people in the media and in politics so often love to speak on the behalf of soldiers, I wanted to write you and share with you why I'm doing this, in my own words:
With the General Election just a week away, the time has come for the procrastinators to cast those ballots, which must be postmarked by Nov. 8 to be counted.
What are Steve Bang's motives? I wasn't going to write a letter to the editor, but after seeing the "Write-in" signs for Steve Bang pop up in the last couple of days, I decided I should.
Camas residents have one of the clearest choices in years, between candidates for mayor and a city council position in the Nov. 8 election.
Turk is a strong addition to Camas Council To be an effective elected representative I think it requires a focus on process, information gathering (through listening, reading, and participation), fact-checking, balancing big-picture with the details, then consensus building and/or compromising to reach a decision.
For the first time in years, all three seats up for election on the East County Fire & Rescue Board of Commissioners are being challenged in the Nov. 8 General Election. The three incumbents with more than 50 years of history on the commission between them are hoping to retain their seats against as the run against three men with a total of nearly 90 years of career fire fighting and on-the-job emergency services experience.
Turk will be an effective voice We are privileged to have Shannon Turk running for the Ward 3 position of the Camas City Council.
Voters have two choices as they cast their ballots for Port of Camas-Washougal Commission District 2, and while the Post-Record is recommending Bill Ward to fill that seat, his challenger Neil Cahoon has presented himself as a noteworthy opponent.
Camas and Washougal voters have an opportunity on Nov. 8 to keep existing C-Tran bus service intact, in their community and throughout Clark County, by voting 'yes' on Proposition 1.
McDaniel considers all sides I have known Jennifer McDaniel for many years, and I believe she is an effective, dedicated member of our City Council. Not only does she do her own research when faced with tough issues, she considers all sides, and ultimately puts Washougal first when making her decisions.
