Today’s Central Oregonian contained two letters supporting Seth Crawford in the race for Crook County Commissioner. Dr. Thomas E. Matheson writes

Through hard work and commitment, he introduced himself to most of our community, knocking on doors, talking to people, attending civic meetings and organizations, and is a great supporter of Crook County High School athletics.

John Say writes

One of [Seth's] very impressive characteristics, which very favorably impressed me, was the ease of discussing problems and discussing possible change, which would assist a return of a favorable economic status for Crook County. I immediately felt comfortable speaking with him about such matters and was totally impressed with his recognition of others around us in discussing reasonable, thoughtful and understandable solutions.

Thanks to both these men for their support and kind words. To read their full letters, see the October 5th Central Oregonian.

McLane wins D-55; Crawford beats Lundquist
Seth Crawford will face Democrat Mike Mohan in the November election

Voters, local, statewide, and national, made their party choices about future leaders Tuesday night on the 2010 Primary Election.

On a local level, the position for County Commissioner (Republican), Position 2, has been a very competitive race. With incumbent Lynn Lundquist, defending his position against challengers Seth Crawford, and Don Fox, as of 8:45 p.m. Crawford was ahead by a considerable amount of votes. He had 1,426 votes, Lundquist had 839, and Don Fox had 160 votes.

“I think getting out and knocking on the doors in the community is what put me over the top,” said Crawford. “While knocking on doors, I heard a resounding theme, that people want new blood and want a new perspective in our County. I would like to thank all my supporters-because without them, I couldn’t have got it done.”

Seth Crawford Stands Tall for Crook County Commissioner

From today’s Central Oregonian, a letter to the editor submitted by Greg Lynch, one of the most respected attorneys in Central Oregon.

Crawford will continue to make a positive difference.

To our Fellow Crook County Residents: April 25, 2010 Having lived in Crook County for more than 25 years, I have seen local politicians come and go. While it is certainly important to have a capable group of commissioners, it is also important to have a compatible group of people who can work together to accomplish our goals. We have seen this in our personal and work lives and it is not different in politics. The county court has been stymied by dissension and conflict. We need a constructive addition with a positive attitude. Please join me in support of Seth Crawford – his family has made a positive difference in Crook County for 3 generations and so will he.

Greg Lynch, Prineville

Who will make the cut? (article)

Found in Letters to the Editor at the Central Oregonian, April 28, 2010.

I would like everyone to know why I support Seth Crawford for Crook County Commissioner. Seth is a valuable member of our community. He has been visiting Prineville his entire life, and he values the community and family values that set Prineville apart from other rural communities. Seth has the conservative views needed to affect change in our conty. Seth is looking to improve our community by drawing more businesses into our county and by looking to reopen the forests for harvesting. If we are able to reopen the timber industry, our mills will have the work needed to bring back many of the laid of employees. Seth is committed to trying to find ways to combat our unemployment problems and return Crook County to the once thriving community that we all need.

Out of the three candidates running for this position, Seth is the only candidate that I or my family has met. Seth comes out to community events and supports our community. He makes efforts to visit the Chamber events and listen to what our business community is concerned about. Just the other day, even knowing that my family already supported his campaign, Seth took the time out of his door-to-door campaigning to speak with my husband and myself and see what concerns we may have with the county that he was unaware of, and how we felt he could address our concerns. Seth really seems to care what we voters are concerned about and how he can help represent this whole community, not just his supporters.

Thank you.

Beverly Timmer, Prineville
