Letter to the Editor: Vote for Shaffley, a Proven Leader, for Port Commission

Posted

Incumbent Port of Centralia Commissioner Julie Shaffley has worked tirelessly to bring economic success to Centralia. I have had the pleasure of working with her for many years. Most recently, we successfully teamed up to secure the funding for the I-5 offramp to service Centralia Station. 

Julie is a proven leader who gets results. Within her last term, companies such as Cascade Mental Health, Stihl Northwest, UNFI, and WinCo have selected our community to build new facilities, bringing new jobs to our workforce. With quality companies such as these as our neighbors, we all reap the benefits. Our citizens and their families have reliable incomes. Our schools, city and county governments, fire districts, libraries, and social services have a solid tax base to support them. We all win. As president of the Port Commission, Julie’s decisions and leadership have made that happen. 

I can’t wait to see what she can do with another term. Join me in supporting Julie Shaffley for Port of Centralia Commissioner.
