Letter: Vote for Erin Skaar

No one is better at managing budgets.

Hands down, Erin Skaar is the best person I know at managing budgets, especially when money is tight. There is no one I trust more to lead our county through the coming years. When CARE was struggling, Erin put together a plan to put the organization on the path to sustainability. When Tillamook Early Learning Center was on the brink of collapse, Erin nursed the organization back to health even digging into her own pocketbook to pay off debt acquired by previous leadership. Because of Erin’s leadership we still have quality childcare in our community serving working families, and we are on a path toward developing work force housing for our teachers, our police officers, and small business owners. Erin builds coalitions bringing money and resources to our county in a way that no other county commission has done before. Because Erin is respected across the state, she is a powerful advocate for Tillamook County. I’ve heard Erin described as, “one of the few county commissions with her head on straight.” Yep…that sounds about right to me. Erin is the best choice for County Commissioner. We need her and we are lucky to have her leading our team. Join me in voting for Erin Skaar for County Commissioner.
