Redistricting commission
Just dandy, after years of dedicated service and having a substantial understanding of the needs in our communities, we now have new elected officials who will represent us, none of whom has the background knowledge of the people I voted for to represent my district. None of whom even resides in Benton County. So much for my vote and yours. All four redistricting commission voting members just happen to live on the west side of the state and seemingly know what's best for our community. Isn't that convenient!

Kennewick hospital: Davidson
Kennewick hospital: Davidson
I have served on the Kennewick General Hospital board for nearly 28 years. During the last six years, I have had the pleasure of serving with Kathy Davidson. Kathy stands out as one of the most competent commissioners with whom I have served. Kathy's education and experience, especially in the field of finance, has been a valued asset to the hospital district.
Kathy currently is chairwoman of our finance committee. Her leadership on this important committee is paramount as we complete our financing package for the construction of our new hospital at Southridge. Retaining Kathy as a commissioner is vital to maintaining our direction to meet the health needs of our growing community. A vote for Kathy is a vote for a talented, dedicated, and experienced commissioner.
