I endorse Bernard Seeger to represent our House District 52. I worked with him during my tenure as Mayor of Mosier and believe him to be most qualified to help find solutions to the complex issues in our region. His experience as a Veteran, a world traveler, and vast experience in finance and city administration enable him ample resources to understand the parameters of our district and represent the best path forward.

I had the opportunity to work with Bernard both while I served as Hood River County Commissioner in District 1 and after my term when I worked to facilitate planning sessions with the City of Cascade Locks. Bernard was always committed to his work with local government and, more importantly, the constituents he served. He was passionate about finding the best path forward for the community, while being realistic about the role of city and county governments. It is without hesitation that I endorse Bernard in his campaign to serve the public in the broader role of Oregon State Representative.

During my tenure as Hood River County Administrator, I had many opportunities to work with Bernard in his capacity as Cascade Locks City Administrator on a variety of issues and projects. I found him to be dedicated, energetic and focused on best serving the people of that community. I know he will bring those same virtues to the people of HD 52, and happily support his candidacy to serve.

He is a very dedicated and hard working individual with a natural curiosity which often leads him to the best possible solutions for any given issue. He is fiscally responsible with skills in this area that will serve all of the constituents in District 52 and the State of Oregon.
