I’m Mary Starrett, and I’m running for re-election as Yamhill County Commissioner, Position #3.

HOLDING THE LINE ON SPENDING STARTS WITH ME

I pledged to oppose spending for non-essential expenditures and signed the Taxpayers Association of Oregon Pledge.

I have refused pay raises throughout both 4-year terms in office and will continue to turn down pay increases in my third term, keeping my salary at the 2014 rate.

Yamhill County can and should be home to businesses and industries looking for a ready work force, a business-friendly climate and a break from oppressive government taxes and regulations. Together we can work to make Yamhill County an economically stable and vibrant place to live.

Yamhill County can continue to serve as a model for other counties by safeguarding property rights, individual liberties and promoting fiscal restraint.

Please join me in this effort to continue to advocate for a financially solvent Yamhill County and support the  programs and services that help our community.
