Dear Editor,

I am a PUD Commissioner for Douglas County, and have known and worked with Trish Butler since she became an Okanogan County PUD Commissioner nearly six years ago.

As a fellow Commissioner, I have observed Trish represent Okanogan County PUD at the “Washington PUD Association,” and interact with other PUD Commissioners within our state. My observation is that Trish is always well prepared, a good listener and respectful of differing points of view. Additionally, because of how Trish treats other people, other people listen to her opinion.

Although I am not a voter in Okanogan County, I am pleased to endorse Trish Butler for Okanogan County PUD Commissioner. Trish is a quality person, has invested considerable time in educating herself on PUD matters, and is an asset to our entire region. To voters in Okanogan County, I encourage you to support Patricia “Trish” Butler for Okanogan County PUD Commissioner.
