Colleague’s support
Mary Ellen Winborn is by far the most qualified candidate for the Clallam County director of community development (DCD) position.
This has become obviously clear during the debates and especially during the recent League of Women voters debate which showed Winborn’s clear understanding of building and planning regulations.
It also indicates her opponent’s lack of knowledge of the complexities of these regulations and she is apparently unaware that these laws cannot be altered or changed at the whim of local officials.
After serving as DCD for the past four years, Winborn has a proven record of superior performance and skillful administration.
Her expertise as a professional architect and her comprehensive knowledge of the development community, coupled with her broad grasp of local, state and federal regulations makes her a perfect fit for this demanding position.
As a former Clallam County building official and fire marshal and the first elected DCD, I know Mary Ellen Winborn to be a consummate professional who is dedicated to serving the citizens of our county with diligence and fairness.
Her management decisions has been made with integrity and even-handedness and with the support and input from her dedicated professional staff.
Mary Ellen Winborn has restored the public’s faith in the department of community development through her professionalism and expertise.
I have the utmost confidence that Mary Ellen Winborn will continue to be a superior director of community development and I hope you will join me in voting for her.
