Letter: Smith gives our smallest communities a voice

Published 3:00 am Saturday, May 11, 2024

I have known Greg Smith for over 30 years, and I can attest to the strength of his character and to his dedication to the people of District 57. Ensuring that constituents have a voice in the legislative process is fundamental, especially to our frontier communities that are extremely rural and a long drive from Salem. Legislators serve as the conduit through which the concerns, aspirations and priorities of their constituents are communicated to the halls of the Capitol.

Greg listens attentively to the needs of his constituents and engages in open dialogue in every community meeting or event he attends. By providing avenues for public input, such as town hall meetings, surveys and community forums, he has fostered transparency and accountability. He has demonstrated a commitment to responsive and inclusive representation and he deserves our vote.
