Support Urged for Nysoe

Dear Editor:

I write urging readers to vote for Dain Nysoe as Columbia County Commissioner.

As noted by previous writers, Dain Nysoe is uniquely qualified by his education, his leadership in economic development, and by his keen perspective on our county as a fourth-generation resident. To get things done as a county-level leader today, these factors are necessary and important. And so is character.

I know Dain well. As cousins, we grew up together on what was a larger Donohue farm during the 1950s and 60s. We hauled hay, drove trucks and tractors, harvested wheat, laid irrigation pipe and chased after cattle on horseback.

From our parents and our grandfather, Dewey Donohue, we learned to take the initiative, to work hard, be honest with people and tight-fisted in financial matters. These characteristics, along with creative thinking and persistence, describe Dain Nysoe today.

In November, we have an opportunity to elect experience, leadership and character. Vote for Dain Nysoe as County Commissioner (District 3).

Randall Donohue
