We have lived in Tillamook County since 1992 and have watched closely the priorities and decisions of the several County Commissioners who have been elected during our years here. We so appreciate the time and energy and knowledge it takes to be an effective Commissioner. It’s an important job that affects all of our lives.
When considering who to vote for in a County Commissioner race, we look for a person who has organizational and management experience, excellent communication skills, and the ability to juggle many issues and tasks with knowledge and confidence. We need a Commissioner who understands and can effectively prioritize the community’s many needs, can responsibly allocate tax dollars and successfully secure and manage grant funds. It’s vital to us that we have a Commissioner who is fair-minded and has true compassion for all people who call Tillamook County home.
These are all qualities that Erin Skaar possesses and has ably demonstrated since she was elected in 2020 as Tillamook County Commissioner, Position 1. We are impressed with her extensive experience, performance on the job, and ability to communicate honestly and clearly. She has the courage to take on the difficult and essential issues of housing, homelessness, and substance abuse, all while remaining fully engaged with her many other Commissioner responsibilities.
Erin has the experience, skills, and commitment that we need in our county leadership. We trust that she will continue to work hard for us. We are voting for Erin Skaar and hope you will, too.
