OPINION: Bubba King is what's best for Yamhill County

“All politics is local.” This famous quotation tends to mean that the most important motivations directing voters are rooted in local concerns. And, one of the biggest concerns in Yamhill County is the divide between its citizens come election time.

I moved here recently from Josephine County, and the politics there are appalling. It’s one of the reasons my husband and I moved here. And we are finding out that politics here is heading in the same direction.

That’s why it’s time for a change in the upcoming election for commissioner. The incumbent commissioner, Lindsay Berschauer, faced two efforts to be recalled. That tells me there are many who are very unhappy with her.

Her opponent, David "Bubba" King is a fresh new face with new ideas, and he is willing to represent everyone, not just special interests. He conducted meet and greets in every local community, where he states he would represent all of us, not just an elite few.

Bubba’s campaign donations are small donations from many every-day folks. He is beholden to no one; he’s beholden to all. I don’t think his opponent can say the same.

So, I’m asking everyone to pay attention to this upcoming election. It’s a local election and very important for you and your concerns. Vote.

Don’t go the way of Josephine County. Elect someone new who will work with all to accomplish what is best for Yamhill County. Vote for David "Bubba" King. Is Bubba Better? “Bubba is Better” — You bet!
