Support for Clayton

To the editor,

As a concerned resident of Walla Walla County, I wholeheartedly support Bertha Clayton for County Commissioner. Bertha understands that the role of the County Commission is not only defined by state law but also by the needs of our community. With an approved 2024 budget of $145.9 million, it’s crucial that we have a leader who prioritizes transparency, accountability, and responsible growth.

In the 10+ years I’ve known Bertha, I have always been impressed by her drive, hard work, and, most importantly, her kindness. Bertha’s commitment to strategic planning, supporting working families, and improving the quality of county services stands out.

Her multi-partisan support reflects her ability to unite our community in these challenging times. Bertha’s focus on inclusiveness, cooperation, and data-driven decision-making will ensure that our county thrives.

Walla Walla County deserves a well-spoken leader who will work tirelessly for its residents. I urge everyone to vote for Bertha Clayton as she embodies the integrity and innovative thinking needed to guide us forward. Let’s build a brighter future together!

Sincerely,

Jon Loney
