To the Editor:

In the upcoming election for Lane County Commissioner, Position 2, the clear choice is Pat Riggs-Henson.

Without a doubt, Pat Riggs-Henson's record of community service and dedication to improving the lives of Lane County Residents is stellar. Her ability to facicilate bi-partisan cooperation on various issues is a perfect match for the complex issues facing Lane County.

One of my main concerns in this uncertain economy is jobs. While all employment is important, living wage jobs with benefits are the backbone of a healthy community. Living wage jobs provide sustenance and security to working families while ensuring a stable tax base for needed services.

Pat has shown an unwavering commitment to ensure living wage jobs stay in Lane County as well as creating new opportunities for growth. She will continue to do so as a commissioner.

I encourage voters to make a choice for the future. Elect Pat RIggs-Henson for Lane County Commissioner, Position 2.
