When choosing
between political candidates, I believe a person should vote for the most
qualified candidate. To me, “most qualified” is defined by four attributes:
Leadership. Experience. Honesty. Integrity.
I had the
honor of serving on the Troutdale City
Council with both candidates running for Oregon House District 49 this year,
Matt Wand and Chris Gorsek. In this HD 49 election, the cream definitely rises
to the top. I’m voting for Chris Gorsek. I believe he is the most qualified
candidate.
Chris Gorsek
knows how the economy has hurt many of our neighbors. He’ll fight hard to cut
bureaucratic red tape, making it easier to create new businesses and new jobs
in East County.
Our crime
problems aren’t just a debate club topic for Gorsek. Before he was a Professor
of Criminal Justice at Mt. Hood Community College, he was a police officer with
the Portland Police Bureau for seven years. This real world experience gives
him a clear advantage over Mr. Wand regarding East County’s public safety
issues.
As a
Professor at Mt Hood Community College, Chris Gorsek knows firsthand the
terrible consequences of education budget cuts. We agree that the politicians
in Salem have skewed priorities when it comes to education. He’s committed to making education the top
budget priority in the Oregon Legislature. Chris will fight hard to bring more
education dollars to our schools.
I’m a
Republican. However, party affiliation and ideology are secondary to honesty
and integrity as the most important leadership qualities I look for in a
candidate for public office. I trust Chris Gorsek. He can be relied on to do
what he says he’ll do. And he’s honest. He has never lied to me, or attempted
to deceive me.
I encourage voters to join me and vote for Chris Gorsek.
