Candidate gives thanks, endorses Prestegard

To The Eagle:

I would like to thank all Wahkiakum county residents for the opportunity to run for office in our wonderful little corner of the world.

I also want to personally thank all who took the time to vote and to those who voted for me; it was an honor.

I also want to thank the other three candidates who were in this campaign for county commissioner. In a world of nothing but negative campaigning, this county rose above it. I believe that's why we live here.

Lastly, I would like to express my support for Greg Prestegard. I believe he will be our next commissioner and I believe he is an excellent person for the position.
