LETTER:Backs Hays

I’m relatively new to Clallam County, but I served two terms as a commissioner for the Thurston County Public Utility District.

For over a decade, I met commissioners from around the state.

I’m now supporting Ken Hays for Clallam Public Utility District commissioner because he can bring new ideas and change for a better future to the PUD.

And from my experience, Ken will be one of the most qualified commissioners I’ve known.

His two terms as mayor of Sequim tells me he knows how to serve on a governing board and work with others.

He’s shown his dedication to public service through the certificate of leadership he earned through years of study and work.

And his decades of career in architecture and planning have taught him about the challenges of local government, including setting budgets, working with clients and partners, and thinking strategically.

I can think of few commissioners I’ve met who bring such a strong set of skills and knowledge to the job as Ken does.

To bring our PUD into the 21st Century, cast your vote for Ken Hays in November.
