Letter: OLCV endorses Claire Hall, Dave Gomberg

Claire Hall has lived and invested in our community for many years, first as a journalist and now as a Lincoln County commissioner. Hall is running for re-election and deserves our support. With her experience, she understands the challenges of our unique area. She’s been a strong supporter of climate action to protect our fragile environment and has worked to tackle the severe problem of affordable housing and homelessness. She’s also been a strong advocate for sustainable fishing and the development of alternative energies.

The Oregon League of Conservation Voters has reviewed candidates for the county commissioner position. We are convinced Hall’s long-time commitment to public service and experience addressing the problems facing Lincoln County deserves re-election. We urge you to support Claire Hall in the upcoming Lincoln County Commission race.

As we have in past elections, OLCV has also endorsed Rep. David Gomberg for re-election. Representative Gomberg has the best OLCV rating of any state legislator along the Oregon coast. Due to his bipartisan negotiating skills, he is chair of the Oregon Coastal Caucus, which is very impressive in that all the other members of the Oregon Coastal Caucus are Republican legislators.
