BROSIUS IS ‘SOMEONE WHO GETS THINGS DONE’

This letter is in regard to Mike Brosius, who is running for public office for the Clatsop County Commission, District 3.

Mitra Vaeen says he’s not qualified because he doesn’t have government experience.  I would consider his experience as a retired executive of Costco in Seattle as being qualified.  He is used to being in charge.  Costco is one of the most respected companies in the world—it gives him more qualifications than any government job.

Mike gets things done.  He is a family man with real world experience and a lot of enthusiasm!  He is on three boards, all of which are making a huge difference and impact on our community.  He is helping to create living wage jobs throughout various industries and the local college.

I want someone who gets things done versus someone with government experience, and that’s Mike!
