Letter to the Editor on behalf of Bertha Clayton

Bertha Clayton and those of us on her campaign committee are encouraged by the primary election results for Walla Walla County Commissioner, District 1. We hope voters will continue their engagement through the General Election on November 5th.

Bertha is working hard to meet prospective constituents. I find her eager to educate, engage meaningfully, and respond to inquiries in person via Facebook and on her webpage.

Only District 1 voters had an opportunity to vote in the primary but voters in all three districts are eligible to vote for position 1 in November.

The work of our commissioners is important to all of us and depends on well-informed voters. Registration online and by mail ends October 28th, and in-person registration is open until 8:00 pm on election day. Ballots will be mailed October 18th.

I am impressed with Bertha Clayton, she will act with transparency, is dedicated to public service, and proactively reaching out to constituents. I admire her work ethic and championship of good ideas. Please consider joining me in supporting Bertha for County Commissioner.
