It is a shame that our Morrow County campaigns could not remain focused on what a candidate brings and avoid the negative rhetoric. We hope Morrow County citizens will weigh the facts closely and vote the hard work, consistent message and integrity of Ken Grieb for reelection to Morrow County Commissioner. We support the county-wide visibility and positive commitment Ken brings to where we live and work, here in Morrow County. The facts about Ken Grieb and his leadership: -Served on Morrow County Planning Commission and North Morrow Vector Control Board; -Served as liaison to multiple committees and citizens of Morrow County to the county court; -Served the agri-business of Morrow County with six-plus years as Wheat League President; -Served as member of the Wheat League Executive Board culminating as Executive President in 2003; -Traveled to Washington DC 22 times to lobby for the wheat growers of Morrow County, Oregon and agri business in general, during which time Ken garnered invaluable leadership experience from national leaders and lawmakers; -Served on the Morrow County Grain Growers Board of Directors; -Member of ICABO and Heppner, Boardman and Irrigon Chambers of Commerce; -Athletic Booster and supporter in each o f the communities of Morrow County; -Self employed business owner over 28 years and continues ownership and operation; -Livestock auctioneer at one of the largest county combined events, Morrow County Fair, serving over 25 years as the auctioneer, as an exhibitor and time as livestock judge; -Volunteer: AYSO youth soccer, C olt sports, PYB basketball, NEOJGA youth golf, countless hours to elementary HEROES reading and classroom volunteer—Ken’s generosity is known for committing hours auctioneering for community and county-wide fundraising events. Ken’s willingness to donate and volunteer in our communities is impossible to equate; -South Morrow County 2010 Man of the Year—Ken’s commitment to the youth of our communities stems well past his own young family. This commitment was a common thread voiced in the numerous letters of support for his Man of the Year nomination. He was commended for his level of support of our schools and youth growth through involvement in activities. Many leaders also expounded on Kens civic-minded approach to his dealings with youth and the county, noting his commitment to link county efforts with community needs; -Morrow County Commissioner: seven and a half years Morrow County Commissioner with an over 91 percent attendance record to county court meetings. This is where the work of the county gets done. Ken actively participates in the management of Morrow County with over 100 employees and a $20 million-plus budget. Ken is available to the entire county. We have seen his hours of time, beyond the required meetings, when Ken is in phone conferences, even while on scheduled vacation with his family, or taking phone calls from the many committees, businesses or citizens needing his assistance. Ken is known to excuse himself even at his children’s athletic, concerts or other events to give time to county and citizen needs. We witness Ken endlessly giving citizens an ear with concerns at any event any time. His effort and commitment to Morrow County is always evident. This level of commitment is impossible to equate to a per-hour pay or financial valuation. Ken is a county commissioner that is available to his constituents. Ken Grieb considers himself a citizen of Morrow County and has close ties to each community. Long before he considered being a commissioner Ken had always been visible in each of the communities of Morrow County. His desire to serve all, without special interest, is evident. Ken is civic minded and committed to our communities, proven by his support in both his time and his resources. Ken further has proven his honesty and integrity by keeping his skills, experience and commitment to Morrow County his focus. We hope you will consider the facts and join us in voting for someone we know is committed to and has the best interest of all of Morrow County at heart. Vote Ken Grieb Morrow County Commissioner.
