Letter to the Editor: Price Is the Right Choice for Assessor

Posted

I write this letter to help the community, the voting community, get to know Amanda Price, running for Lewis County assessor. 

Amanda and I got to know each other recently, in a volunteer capacity for us both, but we almost instantly become friends. Amanda is an amazing asset to our local community, a wife, mother, county employee, tremendous community volunteer and a friend. I write this letter because she is the right choice for the job of county assessor.

I have been a voter for as long as legally able. I believe that people should become educated, vote and participate in the community and county around us. It affects us all! 

I wasn’t as educated about the role of county assessor as I should have been as a voting member of the community, so I asked Amanda to lunch to help me understand. I asked her to answer some questions.

Amanda shared so much with me. She shared of her previous experience as an employee in the assessor’s office in years past, and she shared how the system works, about deadlines and how important it is for us taxpayers to ensure the system is conducted correctly and fairly.

Amanda has vast experience in the Lewis County Assessor’s Office, Treasurer’s Office and now in the IT department. Amanda’s experience in the treasurer’s and assessor’s offices will be widely beneficial to helping those two departments that work so closely together. She has an incredible ability to build relationships with all kinds of people and the positions they hold, and that skill will go far in helping her work across Lewis County.



I am a taxpayer, and taxes for me are not the most positive part of my year. However, they are necessary and I as a taxpayer would have full confidence in Amanda and her team to know that I am being treated fairly. Take the time, and get educated about Amanda and her abilities. She will be a great asset to us all. 

Amanda Price is the right person for the job of Lewis County assessor.
