Candidates Forum Tonight

Seven o'clock in the Flag Room of the Astoria Library, 10th and Duane. Plenty of parking. Candidates invited are for County Commissioner, District 1 (Jeff Hazen and Mike Beketic), and District 3 (myself and Richard Lee). Also for the new Circuit Judge (Mary Ann Murk, Cindee Matyas, Don Haller, Mike Dooney). The AAUW is sponsoring and as I understand it, each candidate has a 3-minute opening statement and then the room is opened for questions. Questions are in writing and may be vetted by the moderator.

Someone please put together a forum for District 5 candidates John Benson, John Dunzer, Ann Samuelson and Russ Earl. We are elected by district but we govern together, and we all need to know about each other.

AMENDED April 12: I mean put together a forum that includes ALL commissioner candidates.

What is this election all about?
My candidacy is about a striking reclamation of integrity, honesty, intelligence and responsibility to the leadership of District 3, of openness, and of government for the people.

I believe that you, the citizens, are entitled to leaders who are dedicated to ensuring that the quality of life within our county is the best it can be and is charted by all of us in collaboration. I believe true leadership creates an environment of opportunity for all, brings power to the people, and builds new leadership throughout the county by providing everyone an opportunity to invest in the future. This requires thoughtful vision and a strong commitment to working for the greater good.

My vision and plans for the county build on the synergies between the County, our Cities, the Port, the College and our businesses. Our unique and diverse economic strengths, our cultural richness, and the natural beauty of our environment separately and together are magnets for growth. I'll provide the intelligence and responsibility to shape that growth, and will be commited to you and to the leadership of District 3 government by and for the people.

Vote for me and, as your Commissioner, Iâll hold regular public forums so that you help set priorities and so that the Commission has your best ideas about how our budget can match those priorities. I'll seek radio and television broadcast of all Commission meetings and work sessions, making our work open and accessible. I'll continue this blog so that we can interact in real time, both about issues of the day and about long-term plans.

The Board and the committees to which I am liaison will have my full and active attention, so that people and resources can be brought together when and where they're needed. Iâll be a strong and statewide voice for public safety, transportation, and the balance you, the voters, have insisted be maintained between the environmental and economic uses of our great natural resources. I'll work hard to ensure that our rich cultural life gets the private support it needs to remain strong and vibrant.

I have no businesses or land ownings within the county to protect or expand. Iâll ensure that zoning fits all of our needs, that permitting and inspection regulations apply to all citizens equally, and that the County has the resources for their enforcement.

Imagine what Clatsop County could be with a Commissioner who works thoughtfully, openly and actively with her colleagues and for her constituency.

Iâm Cindy Price, and I ask for your vote.

District 3 includes Astoria east of Fifth Street, southeast of Denver and south of platted West Niagara Avenue, and extends east to 28th Street; Miles Crossing, Jeffers Gardens, Fort Clatsop, Lewis and Clark, Youngs River, Olney, Green Mountain and part of Walluski.

Price is Right!
