a request for comment. John Trumbo said he was
done with politics and would not endorse either
candidate but added “there’s no doubt in my mind
Ryan has all the tools to do the job as sheriff.”
Rowan has drawn support from his Hermis-
ton-area base, where Amstad Farming Co. gave
$1,000 and business owner Paul Burns gave $500.
Hermiston farmer Robert Levy and Echo farmer
Art Prior also gave $500, as did undersheriff Jim
Littleield.
Rowan’s campaign reported spending $4,540,
and it has all been local, including $1,492 to AJ’s
Printed Apparel, Hermiston, and $1,445 to Creative
Signs, Pendleton.
Lehnert has spent $4,158, with the $2,454 for
signs from a company in Austin, Texas. He said his
campaign could not afford to buy large signs locally,
but he did spend $200 at DG Gifts for election
T-shirts and $260 at Master Printers for campaign
pamphlets, both Pendleton businesses.
Neither candidate has bought print or television
advertisements, and only Lehnert reported buying
radio ads. Rowan in his irst campaign spent $3,500
for radio ads.
Lehnert’s campaign has $1,286 cash on hand.
Rowan’s has $1,498, including $16.42 left over
from his 2012 campaign.
not attached to the comments, but several
comments focused on the Eastern Oregon Trade
and Event Center. One councilor felt the project
was taking up too much of Smith’s time since
he joined the board in the fall at the council’s
request. Other councilors, however, commented
that getting the project successfully completed
should be one of Smith’s top priorities.
Councilors’ main complaint seemed to be
that they learned about major goings-on in the
city from the newspaper before they heard it
from Smith. They asked that they be informed
of “serious police activity” or problems with
city services as soon as possible so they are not
caught off guard.
Overall, councilors praised Smith for his
work. One wrote that Smith had done a “great
job” in the past two years and another commented
that he had done “a lot of wonderful things.”
“I appreciate all that you do and want
everyone to fully understand the complexity of
your schedule,” a third councilor wrote.
They asked Smith to prioritize EOTEC, the
new senior center, livability projects, imple-
menting Hermiston’s new brand, public transit,
water, housing development and economic
development over the next year.
