I would have no reason for running for the position of Sewer Commissioner if I didn’t think there were real problems that need to be addressed. I am concerned about these problems. This is my home. I think I can help. And there are real problems for us: we need to protect our drinking water, we need to protect the environment (both terrestrial and marine), we need to protect low income working people and people on fixed incomes from harmful policies.

I have done my best to present an accurate picture: $90,000 was spent by the sewer district to drill wells for the benefit of Highlands’ homeowners at public expense, Mr. Sauer’s lack of concern for the needs of people on fixed incomes or those struggling to make ends meet, sewer effluent running out on North Beach.

Because this reflects poorly on my opponent, does not make these statements false. And without substantiation, Sauers accusations are insulting.

I am qualified. I have a degree in Technology from WWU. My professional background in engineering, design and project management  directly apply to the position of Sewer Commissioner. My status as fourth generation north sounder means I have a longterm perspective required to evaluate our problems and devise real solutions that apply to the place where we live.

Ultimately, it is for the voters to decide who is has the best interests of the voters at heart-I hope you will consider me the best choice.
