From a Press Release –
I’m Cary Johnson and I am running to serve you as Clatsop County Commissioner in District 4. District 4 encompasses the eastern portion of Astoria to the eastern border of the County, including John Day, Svensen, Knappa, Westport, parts of Walluski and Riverpoint.
All my life I have lived here in Clatsop County and it’s truly a place I love. I care about what happens in this community, and take pride in working to improve it. It is my belief that the government exists for the purpose of serving the people, and this is my goal as your County Commissioner. I’m running for County Commissioner because I want to make Clatsop County a better place to live for our neighbors, families, and future generations.
Since my childhood, Clatsop County has changed dramatically. Our economy has been shifting from one that is resource based to one focused more towards tourism. I believe we need to keep a balance between the two and not forget the workers who need year round family wage jobs. Our resource-based jobs, which include fishing, logging, and mill operations, provide living wages. These jobs allow our citizens to live comfortably, and provide incentive for them to stay in Clatsop County.
Many people who I grew up with have moved away
