These candidates bring new priorities, focus and energy to our local government. Commissioners set our local laws, provide essential services for our roads, parks, health and emergency services, while representing our concerns. Your vote has a tremendous impact on your community! I am supporting Jamie Collins for District 1; Amy Sabbadini for District 3; Rick Russell for District 4; Morgan Schmidt for District 5. I encourage you to check out their websites, learn about their priorities, read their resumes and familiarize yourself with each of these special people. We are very fortunate to have each of them eager to make Deschutes County a better place for us. Please vote and return your ballot early.…
