“Spink acknowledges that he has been too busy running Tillamook Motor Company to develop many detailed policy proposals but said that he believes he would be able to leverage the experience of county staff and a fresh perspective to move the county forward.” (source: Headlight Herald)
“Beyond that, Spink said that while he did not have specific proposals for stimulating economic development, he would investigate issues once elected by soliciting input from staff, as well as current and former commissioners, and using his years of business experience to formulate new policies.” (source: Headlight Herald)
We do have many challenges in the County. I believe that Mary Faith Bell has guided the County through some tough times. She understands these challenges. Bell has been involved with our healthcare through her work with our only hospital located in Tillamook County, Adventist Hospital. With 1/3 of the population over 65 years of age, the hospital and healthcare are critical needs in our county. Education is important for our children to obtain better paying jobs in the county. Bell has served on the Board of the Tillamook County Community College. The college has added a critical nursing program which will help us to have future healthcare workers. Along with Commissioner Skaar, Bell has worked to address the shortage of housing in Tillamook County.
There is no question which candidate will help Tillamook County. Please vote by May 19 for Commissioner Mary Faith Bell.
