Smith for District 53

If Sisters voters want to end the kind of partisan bickering that characterizes too much of state and national government, we need to start electing candidates like Bill Smith.

His nonpartisan outlook and approach are what is needed to break this state out of gridlock and return to the days when Oregon was held up as a beacon to others - as a state that works.

Smith's focus on education will be valuable to Sisters, where the schools form such a vital part of the life of the community.

Smith is his own man and walks that talk. He deserves a chance to prove himself in Salem.
