Support Urged for Kimball (2)

Dear Editor,

I am supporting Todd Kimball as the next District 2 County Commissioner to maintain a board of diversified knowledge and experience.

Todd is a farm manager and a sixth generation steward of the land. His previous involvement as past president of both the Northwest Grain Growers and the Walla Walla County Conservation District as well as past treasurer of the Blue Mountain Land Trust serves as a solid foundation for many land use, water, economic and overall issues significant to Walla Walla County. His rural life experience and agricultural knowledge are key components in representing our largest tax base, agriculture and its related businesses.

As a certified public accountant, his financial knowledge offers expertise in one of the primary and most difficult responsibilities of a board of county commissioners, the management of a multifaceted, multimillion dollar budget which includes balancing an increased demand for services, less revenue to perform services and an ever increasing cost of doing business.

I am confident that as a lifelong resident and seasoned volunteer in our community, Todd will work to preserve our values, customs and cultures.

Please keep the Board of County Commissioners representing all of the interests of our valley and join me in voting for Todd Kimball, Walla Walla County Commissioner, District 2.
