I strongly support Sean VanGordon in his race for the Lane County Board of Commissioners because I worked with him when he was a Springfield City Councilor, mayor and a member of the Lane County Housing Policy Board. In all those roles he has demonstrated that he is there to serve others and not himself.

As a former city councilor myself, it’s easy to spot people who want to do what’s right for the community and care about others no matter who they are. Sean doesn’t pick and choose who he will serve or who he will listen to. He understands that a strong quality of life and a strong quality of livelihood are equally important. He’s someone who will treat every person with respect and consider every decision fairly.

We need leaders who are thoughtful and deliberate. People who act with respect and dignity. Sean is someone Springfield will be proud to call its own. He’s already earned that support as mayor. I urge voters to support him as county commissioner.
