To the editor:
It is rare for a group as diverse as 15neighborhoods to reach a consensus on things outside the short-term rental issue but with Rep. David Gomberg and Lincoln County commission candidate Casey Miller, 15neighborhoods is a resounding “yes” vote for both.
David Gomberg is an amazing person in and out of Salem. He is a rare politician, one who does not brag about things he is going to do someday, he does them now and without all the fanfare and chest-beating. He just gets it done.
Millions of dollars have come to our coastal communities because of Rep. Gomberg’s efforts. How did this happen? He asked what communities needed, saw the need, and requested the funds. A vote for Gomberg is a vote for all of us.
Casey Miller has always been the person that people go to for answers in Lincoln County. As the county’s public information officer, Casey Miller was the first (and only) government representative many of us have spoken with. He was the one who made the Board of Commissioners’ weekly meetings run smoothly with the equipment and public comments both in-person and using SmartSheet. He is the county’s chief advocate and implementer for public transparency. He handles public concerns with dignity and equality. We believe he will act in the same measured, even-handed way as a commissioner.
Lincoln County needs good leaders and Rep. David Gomberg and Casey Miller are just what Lincoln County residents need. We encourage all Lincoln County residents to vote by Nov. 8.
