Editor:
I have been asked about whom I support for House of Representatives: It is Angelita Sanchez.
I have known her for years, first as a founder of Timber Unity. She was organizing teams to work issues in Salem; next, in her role as a Sweet Home city councilor and in the recent past as the legislative assistant for Sen. Cedric Hayden.
Through all of those years, I’ve seen her as a small business owner, concerned about her employees and their job security. I have seen a mother, caring about her children’s lives and happiness. I’ve seen her as a citizen, concerned about the visual blight of homeless and the impact on the homeless individual and the downtown businesses.
Through all the ways I have known her and worked with her, she has been a partner in solving the issue. She has continually built a resume of work, but more importantly she has built up skills, experience and connections. She has been part of the Oregon legislative process. She has been meeting with state and federal partners, pushing for Linn County and Sweet Home issues. She has led regional efforts from Sweet Home to work on natural resource issues.
She has prepared, she is ready… Support her as the next District 11 state representative.
