Daggett an experienced voice for the county

After reading the article in the Chieftain a few weeks back detailing the strategy of the Democrats for the upcoming election, I am really wondering what the platform of the Democrats is.

It appears that they were searching for topics that would sway voters toward their candidates. So, if they are just now conjuring up an agenda that matches the needs of Wallowa County, how do we have any faith that those items would actually be put into practice once these candidates are elected? If they are not really on the platform of the Democrat party, then why would they want to pursue them?

It appears that Trump’s passing of the funding for Secure Rural Schools is one big thing that will already be giving our county a boost. But the Democrats are supporting a candidate for precinct committee person who will be trying to garner votes for their candidates, yet this person works for an outside radical environmental group called Oregon Wild.

That organization personally bashes County Commissioner Todd Nash, wants wolves to run roughshod over our ranchers, cares nothing for our private property rights in that regard and helps file complaints and lawsuits when we attempt to manage wolves.

I don’t call that very endearing for our local citizens. Demos will have to do much better than that.
