Brosius ‘skilled, experienced, well-connected, deeply engaged’

Clatsop County voters have a rare opportunity this cycle to elect a skilled, experienced, well-connected and deeply engaged county commissioner — Mike Brosius.

If you’re interested or involved in any number of projects that make the Lower Columbia region a better place to live and work, you’ve bumped into him. Perhaps it was at the Columbia Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Liberty Theatre or in his work rising to meet the challenges posed to our region by the loss of federal funding.

Notably, he has boosted Clatsop Community College in practical, common-sense ways, even as the college board has wallowed in dysfunction.

He is the first person to call when you want to get something done. When he decides to get involved, he is able to elevate a project from the unlikely to the possible. He moves comfortably through both the private and public sectors.

Mike Brosius has skills, experience and the temperament to help our region gain traction in these difficult times. He is an ideal choice for the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners.

Mike Francis, Astoria
