3 reasons you should NOT vote for Lindsay Berschauer for County Commissioner:
1. Lindsay's campaign includes significant donations from the farming community. Donations from the George family, owners of one of the largest hazelnut processing companies in the country, have been prominent in her previous campaigns. Nothing wrong with that. Where it becomes very, very wrong is when she represents only the big money that helped get her get elected and blatantly ignores the wishes of the citizen majority.
2. Here's one example of how Lindsay serves her wealthy farmer campaign supporters and ignores pure and simple betterment for citizens: In 2020 Lindsay killed the Yamhelas Westsider Trail, even though construction had already begun and it meant returning hefty private donations and a $1.5 million grant to the state. She killed it because her farmer supporters are against having regular people (ugh!) sully "their" lovely county. She killed it even though an online petition in June of 2021 gathered more than 3,200 signatures in favor of the trail.
3. Lindsay appointed six candidates with jaw-dropping conflicts of and lack of qualifications to the county parks advisory board. One of them is her husband. One of them is Celine McCarthy. McCarthy and her husband, Greg, who was convicted in federal court last year of financial fraud, were among the largest campaign finance donors to Lindsay.
4. There are many more examples of this politician's wily undertakings. You'll find them in Mac's News-Register newspaper. Keep informed. Everybody rise up and vote for Bubba King.

Drop ballots off....do NOT mail them. Several counties in OR have reported the USPS is not delivering ballots to county offices. USPS is holding them for way too long until ballots are counted for re-imbursement of state postage fees. This could jeopardize many votes from being counted in time for this election. Mr DeJoy needs to go.

31% turnout ain't strong. Maybe change the voting law to let folks "opt out" of participation in the election for $30?
