Bonamici sails to victory in Area voters approve four
1st Congressional District special district tax levies

Republican primary
The Daily Astorian
Tax levies for the Clatsop
Care Health District, Warrenton
Police Department, Lewis and
Clark Rural Fire Protection Dis-
trict and Clatskanie Rural Fire
Protection District all passed
Tuesday with some breathing
room.
The health district’s five-
year, $3 million levy imposes a
23-cent tax per $1,000 of prop-
erty value, according to the
county assessor’s office. It was
the closest race among the spe-
cial district tax levies, but passed
with 59 percent of the vote. The
district operates three long-term
care facilities in Astoria and
Warrenton plus an in-home care
agency.
Health district officials
say the money will go toward
upgraded services and technical
capabilities — including mainte-

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici dominated
the Democratic primary Tuesday for the 1st
Congressional District.
The Oregon Democrat faced off against
political newcomers Ricky Barajas, a den-
tal office manager and student, and Michael
Stansfield, a quality control engineer and
author who works for a security company.
Bonamici amassed 92 percent of the vote,
according to unofficial results. Stansfield
totaled 4 percent and Barajas had 4 percent.
John Verbeek, a financial planner, was
ahead of George Griffith, a mechanical
design engineer, in the Republican primary
to see who will face Bonamici in November.
Preston Miller, an Army veteran studying at
Portland State University, was a distant third.
Verbeek received 50 percent, Griffith 40
percent and Miller 8 percent.

U.S. Rep.
Suzanne Bonamici
The 1st Congressional District covers
Clatsop, Columbia, Washington and Yamhill
counties and a northwestern portion of Mult-
nomah County. Republicans haven’t held the
seat since 1974.
Bonamici, a consumer protection attor-
ney, served four years in the state Legislature
before being elected to Congress in 2012.
She has raised more than $630,000 since the
beginning of last year, according to the Fed-
eral Election Commission. Griffith was the
only other candidate to report any contribu-
tions, totaling $817.
nance at the aging Clatsop Care
Center in Astoria, two new buses
and expanded treatment services
at the memory care facility.
The Lewis and Clark Rural
Fire Protection District sought
an $887,000 levy, which rep-
resents a 20 percent increase
from past measures. Revenue
will go toward emergency ser-
vices, employee pay, new fire
equipment — like fire helmets
and gear — and other opera-
tional costs. The levy passed
with 61 percent of the vote.
Fire Chief Jeff Golightly said
the department would eventu-
ally like to purchase a new fire
engine and brush truck as well.
The Warrenton police levy
is a renewal of a five-year,
$895,000 tax option. The tax
will cost 28 cents per $1,000 of
property value — $56 per year
for a $200,000 home — accord-
ing to the city.
The money will pay for a
full-time police officer and par-
tially finance another salary.
The funds raised by the levy —
which passed with 71 percent of
the vote — will help the depart-
ment keep pace with the grow-
ing city, said Warrenton Police
Chief Mathew Workman. He
said the department was “hum-
bled by the overwhelming sup-
port from our community to pass
the levy and maintain our staff-
ing levels.”
The Clatskanie Rural Fire
Protection District renewed a
$5.3 million levy at the same rate
as the previous measure. District
officials cited funding needs for
emergency services, employee
pay and fire equipment. The
fire district covers 135 square
miles of rural area that extends
into Clatsop County by Bradley
Summit. The levy passed with
60 percent of the vote.
Commission: Voter turnout in Clatsop County was 36 percent

Wev stressed advocating for
fishermen and environmental
preservation in her campaign,
while also discussing educa-
tion funding, government trans-
parency and collaboration and
investment in mental health.
“I am excited that the people
of the third district responded
to our campaign of new ideas,
fresh energy and forward direc-
tion for Clatsop County,” Wev
said in a statement. “During
the runoff campaign I will con-
tinue to describe how we can
have a strong and sustainable
future without going backward
with outdated and inadequate
approaches.”
In his campaign, Ros-
coe proposed using natural
resources to create energy and
incorporating mental health
services into a potential new
county jail.
“It’s kind of what I
expected,” Roscoe said. “It
looks like it’s going to be a long
summer. What can I tell ya? I
think I did a lot of ground work
that will help me in this next
election.”
Roscoe said he will distin-
guish himself from Wev as a
longtime county resident who is
not bound by “I-5 corridor” ide-
als. Wev and Thompson have
both been involved with Clat-
sop County Democrats.
“In a lot of ways there are
not a lot of differences between
us, but in a lot of ways there
are,” he said. “I choose to look
at each issue and examine them
and go toward that middle.”
Environmental preserva-
tion, advocating for fishermen
and emergency preparedness
were Doug Thompson’s key
issues.
In District 1, which cov-
ers Warrenton, Hammond and
the west end of Astoria, Kujala
received 67 percent to George
McCartin’s 18 percent and
Andy Davis’ 15 percent.
Scott Lee, who is the board’s
chairman and holds the seat,
announced in 2016 that he
would not seek re-election.
Kujala, a former Warrenton
mayor and owner of Skipanon
Brand Seafood, had the most
experience in local government
of the candidates who wanted to
replace Lee. He spent 12 years
on the Warrenton City Commis-
sion and became the city’s first
elected mayor in 2014. The core
issues in his campaign included
healthier collaboration between
governments, affordable hous-
ing and opening more access to
mental health treatment.
Kujala thanked voters and
said he was humbled.
“I extend that appreciation
to both candidates I ran against.
This was a very civil and
respectful race,” Kujala said.
“I look forward to unifying all
the residents within District 1
as their representative on the
county commission next year.
I also look forward to unifying
the county commission to work
diligently on the issues facing
our region.”
Davis is a data analyst with
Greater Oregon Behavioral
Health Inc., and McCartin is a
retired attorney.
Davis sits on the Astoria and
county budget committees. He
is a member of Indivisible North
Coast Oregon, a progressive
activist group. The data analyst
stressed affordable housing and
mental health access through-
out his campaign.
He said while he has some
policy concerns, Kujala’s expe-
rience could benefit the board.
“I think we were kind of
hoping there would be a run-
off and that we would head to
the fall and have a longer con-
versation,” Davis said. “There
is some obvious tension on the
board right now. I hope that he’s
able to show the board good
ways to cooperate and work
together.”
Issues McCartin touched on
during the campaign included
making the county commis-
sion work better together, cre-
ating more affordable hous-
ing, increasing access to mental
health services and addressing
homelessness.
“I think the voting in District
1 demonstrated there are still a
lot of people who are inter-
ested in how they spend their
money and where they spend
it,” McCartin said. “Likewise,
with regard to the jail, there’s
a substantial number of people
who would like to see home-
less people in some other facil-
ity and not the jail.”
Commissioner Thompson
won a second four-year term in
District 5, which covers most of
South County. She received 59
percent to Susana Gladwin’s 39
percent.
Her top priorities are hous-
ing, economic development and
emergency preparedness.
“Thank you to my bosses
— the voters in District 5,”
Thompson said. “I’m grateful
for their support and will con-
tinue to work hard to do right
by them.”
Thompson has faced sharp
criticism from three other com-
missioners and County Man-
ager Cameron Moore over
her travel expenses, behavior
toward county staff and view
that commissioners should have
a more active role in day-to-day
county operations. At one point,
Lee called for her resignation.
“When I went out and said,
‘(Voters) are at the top of the
organizational chart, you pay
the bills, you hold staff account-
able for what they paid for,’ they
said, ‘Yep, that’s it,’” Thomp-
son said. “Now we’re crystal
clear on that.”
Gladwin, a Jewell farmer,
challenged Thompson. The
candidates served with each
other for four years on the
county Planning Commission.
Gladwin often attends Plan-
ning Commission meetings and
highlighted housing and for-
estry policies as two of her core
issues.
Ron Brown, running unop-
posed for district attorney,
secured a four-year term on
Tuesday. The longtime pros-
ecutor has served as District
Attorney Josh Marquis’ deputy
since 2004. Marquis is retiring
after 25 years in office.
Circuit Court Judge Cin-
dee Matyas, also running unop-
posed, won another six-year
term. Matyas has been a judge
since 2007.
Voter turnout in Clatsop
County was 36 percent.
