Candidate for Assessor

To The Eagle,

I am writing to let the citizens of Wahkiakum County know that I am running for the County Assessor position. It’s always better when we have more than one candidate running for an office since it gives voters a choice.

Many people know me either from working in the Assessor’s office or when visiting your properties for state mandated inspections. I worked in the Assessor’s office for seven years, first as a residential appraiser, then as a residential and commercial appraiser.

Prior to my time in Wahkiakum County, I was a residential appraiser for 13 years in Chicago. My work consisted of a variety of property types for valuation and went a long way towards preparing me for working here in Wahkiakum County. My history also includes 28 years working for United Airlines as a flight attendant and in management, where I developed and implemented training programs internationally.

If I’m known for anything, it’s for being a friendly face behind the counter with a commitment to treating people with kindness and respect. I take pleasure in assisting people understand the valuation process, which I know is foreign to many. I believe public service is an honor I do not take lightly. Should you elect me, I will never forget that it is you the people who put me there, and I will treat the office as such.

I would appreciate your vote. If you are willing to put a sign out for me when it’s time, please send an email to asignfordrew@proton.me (Not dot com), and I’ll make sure you get one. Thanks for your consideration.

Drew Jenkins,

Candidate for Wahkiakum County Assessor
