MIKE BROSIUS IS BEST CHOICE FOR COUNTY COMMISSION

I am writing to formally and enthusiastically endorse Mike Brosius for the office of Clatsop County Commissioner, District 3. Having served alongside him on several committees and projects, I have seen firsthand the rare combination of high-level strategic vision and a genuine commitment to positive and enduring results.

Brosius’s background as a successful and impactful Costco corporate executive provides him with a unique perspective on our county’s potential. He understands the mechanics of scale, but more importantly, he possesses a solid grasp of what it takes to stimulate job growth and revitalize local industry. He has a proven track record.

Beyond his professional resume, Mike Brosius is an exceptional communicator who leads with respect. In my time working with him, I’ve found him to be remarkably resourceful and collaborative. He has a rare ability to bring the best out of those around him, turning a group of committed members into a high-functioning team.

We need a leader who is proven to be positive-outcome oriented and deeply invested in community development. Mike Brosius is that leader. I have full confidence that he will apply his unique experience and vision to serve our county with the same excellence and integrity he has shown throughout his career.

Ed Overbay
