LETTER:Emery’s strengths

As the former first elected Department of Community Development director and previous Clallam County building official/fire marshal, I have known Bruce Emery for almost 30 years.

He is a man with impeccable education and professional employment credentials.

Bruce was employed by Clallam County as a senior planner where he excelled in both his land development expertise and customer service skills.

Work ethic and honesty are two of his many strengths.

Bruce has the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to handle the many complexities of federal, state and local laws required of the Department of Community Development.

A question has been raised about a conflict of interest because of his employment in private land development.

I can attest to his integrity while working together on many land and building development projects and issues.

My hope is that you will follow my lead and vote for this exceptional candidate for community development director
