The people of Lane County are so very fortunate that Heather Buch is running once again and willing to serve. The job of a county commissioner is demanding and complex. For those who live in an unincorporated area, they are also our first line of government.

I have noticed Heather attending many events where she is not a headliner but rather showing her support and quietly talking with her constituents. She does not need to call attention to herself and make speeches. She does her homework, is well informed, takes a balanced approach and clearly works hard. 

I encourage all to vote for Heather Buch, but most of all I write to thank her for her continuing service to Lane County.
