I support Greg Brotherton as County Commissioner.

Research shows that attracting and keeping young entrepreneurial families is critical to rural economic success. While we are seeing talented young people move into the community to farm, raise families, and generate new opportunities - there are real challenges.

We need Greg’s demonstrated talents and skills in a leadership position in the problem solving and decision making if we are to be successful in raising wages, starting businesses and developing a unique rural model of the New Economy, which provides both growth and protection of our high quality of life. Greg has successfully demonstrated the exact skill set and experience as a young entrepreneur and business leader that we need and encourage you to vote for him.

I’ve watched Greg take on difficult projects with creativity and enthusiasm. He and his family re-opened the Quilcene Village Store ensuring South County has an open gas station and healthy food outlet for locals and visitors along the 101 corridor. Greg then saw potential in the south end of Discovery Bay and he has successfully started a new business center creating new job js and five viable businesses. As a young father, Greg has served on the Quilcene School Board bringing vision and new ideas resulting in increased enrollments.

I have been very impressed with Greg Brotherton’s ability and willingness to engage and involve others in working together. I’ve watched him listen closely to the questions and concerns of a diverse electorate, examine the issues, and bring optimism and hard work to problem-solving and successfully balance rural values with creating good jobs and growing businesses.
