Next Generation

To The Eagle,

Wahkiakum county and town of Cathlamet voters have the opportunity to elect a new generation of public servants this year.

The race for Cathlamet mayor pits Laurel Waller, who will be 74 next year, against Nick Sevald, who will be 43.

In the race for Assessor, Drew Jenkins will be 71 when this election is certified, and Justin Moriarty will be 36.

It is my opinion that it is time to pass the torch to the next generation. I will be voting for Justin Moriarty for Assessor, and if I lived in Cathlamet, I’d vote for Nick Sevald for Mayor. Both of these young men are capable and qualified. Let’s give them the opportunity to serve.
