As of this date (3/22/2008) we have three Republican candidates for the 3rd District Chelan County Commission seat being vacated at the end of his term by Buell Hawkins.  Good for Buell for giving early notice of his intent to not seek re-election so that good candidates could be recruited.

It didn’t take much encouragement to find 3 who want the position. That is so good.So often we find no-one wants to serve - and a single candidate runs unopposed and wins while the public loses.In the order of announcing their filing for the position we have:

Stan Morse Announced January 30, 2008 Story - Click Here)	Jay Witherbee Announced February 19, 2008 Story - Click Here	Deanna Walter Announced March 14th Story-Click Here

This is a very important leadership position for the citizens of Chelan County.

The 3rd District is a pie-shaped wedge of the county with the tip extending into the City of Wenatchee but the bulk of the district is the north end of Chelan County.

Candidate Morse and Witherbee are residents of the Lake Chelan Valley, and candidate Walter is a resident Sunnyslope with family ties in the Entiat Valley.

A thought starter for our readers:

What are the important attributes of the person serving in this position?

To the candidates we ask

What makes you the best choice for the people of the Lake Chelan Valley to elect to serve in our County Government?
