Your vote in this May election matters, and I encourage you to cast your vote for Mary Faith Bell.
Her service to all of us in Tillamook County has been steadfast and strong for several years now. She understands the problems our County faces. And once a challenge is set, Mary Faith has demonstrated time and again that she faces things squarely and does not shy away from hard work. She is especially notable for her ability to listen to all sides of an argument or problem and then skillfully work to pull people together and get the job done.
Her dedication is real and when you look at her years of service on boards in addition to the County Commissioners, it is amazing to think of the time and talents she invests every single day on our behalf. (Those boards include the Tillamook Bay Community College Board, Northwest Oregon Housing Authority, and Tides of Change.)
I have worked with her more closely since becoming Mayor in Manzanita, so I have had a chance to see her work up close and to learn more about what the work of a commissioner is. Mary Faith is a strong and resilient leader who is in it for the long haul. In a time when our challenges are not simple and will not be solved overnight, her optimism about possibilities combined with her practical and determined approach are just what we need in Tillamook County.
With best wishes to all,
Kathryn Stock
