Hello community, I do not live in Wheeler so why would I care about who is elected to the Wheeler City Council? Mainly because I drive through the town regularly and I do not want to see Wheeler lose its charm or uniqueness. The City Council has the power to alter that.
There are several people I know who are running and some I don’t. Walt Porter; forever North County resident, good person, what I respect most about Walt, he keeps throwing himself into local community politics/service. We should all be a Walt! Dave Bell; long term resident, good person and I believe he may bring cohesion to the council. Mary Leverette; newish to the area, mega Portland experience, good person and may bring a ‘bigger picture’ view to the council for sourcing new revenue. Karen Matthew; friend, long term resident, good person and is the most vocal and passionate for keeping the quaintness of Wheeler alive and intact. Because I know Karen more than the others, I know her as an excellent communicator, engaged in the community, organized, fair and has Wheeler Council experience. I would like to see Karen & Mary voted in, they are both strong women, loud, passionate and willing to put their butts on the court. When they put their differences aside, I believe Wheeler will benefit greatly from having them both on the Council, as we all watch from the stands.
Wheeler residents it’s up to you, please vote!
