OPINION: Vote King for vibrant, safe, prosperous Yamhill County

I am writing in support of Bubba King in his campaign for Yamhill County commissioner. Mr. King has presented a forward-thinking platform that will benefit all county residents and businesses.

First, Mr. King's focus on economic prosperity is exactly what our county needs. His commitment to workforce development will ensure our residents have the skills to fill those jobs. An economically vibrant Yamhill County is a win for everyone.

Secondly, Mr. King understands that true community safety requires investing our public safety dollars wisely. He will repair and build on relationships with Health and Human Services and with community partners like YCAP. His plan to support and expand crisis intervention and mental health outreach will help make our communities safer.

Finally, Mr. King recognizes the affordable housing crisis hitting our county hard. His ideas to incentivize developers to build more multi-family housing, while still preserving our rural character and open spaces will help working families find homes they can afford. This is crucial for our community's future.

With his experience in business and local government, Bubba King has the right vision to move Yamhill County forward on the key issues of economic growth, community safety, and affordable housing. Bubba will not let personal disagreements or political ideology dictate how tax dollars are spent. I encourage all Yamhill County voters to vote for Bubba King for Yamhill County Commissioner.
