Sweek brings irst-
hand knowledge of
county government
We have known Greg Sweek for many years through
his work with Morrow County government. We have
always known Greg to be a good listener, fair minded
and just.
We believe he will make an excellent Morrow County
Judge/Commissioner. He has irst-hand knowledge of how
Morrow County government works and is well-placed to
implement new policies with the future county govern-
ment system.
Please join us in voting for Greg Sweek, on the May
ballot, for our next Morrow County Judge.

Lindsay would be asset
to Morrow County
We have watched Melissa Lindsay grow up here
in Eastern Oregon. Her time spent in Heppner schools,
college, Bank of Eastern Oregon mortgage department,
ranch bookkeeping skills, and raising two children have
made her who she is today. She can do it all.
Melissa is very open-minded and works well with oth-
ers. She is a great organizer and whatever job she does, it
is 100 percent. Her knowledge of how this county runs is
due to her energy and attending meetings for the last year
doing research to see what this position involves. She is
a great example of what citizen government should look
like. Successful in every endeavor she does and will bring
that to the county. We feel she is extremely qualiied for
the job and would be a huge asset to Morrow County.
Please cast you ballot for Melissa Lindsay for Morrow
County Judge if you want to see this county maintain an
excellent operation done right.
