2015 Election: The PTC Polls Local Candidates
From the desk of Peninsula Trails Coalition President Jeff Bohman:
As the Olympic Discovery Trail becomes an increasingly important element of our tourism, recreation, transportation, and personal-health economy, the involvement and leadership from the jurisdictions through which it passes also becomes increasingly important. With that in mind, each election season, the Peninsula Trails Coalition surveys the candidates on a few key questions relating to the trail.
This year, we surveyed all general election candidates in seven jurisdictions. (There is no election this cycle for Jefferson County commissioner.) Many candidates chose not to respond—and we will continue to advocate with them regardless—but those who did respond took consistently supportive positions regarding the trail.
We encourage you to consider these responses as you make your voting decisions. The Peninsula Trails Coalition counts on you to join with us as continuing advocates with all elected officials for their support and assistance in the completion and maintenance of the Olympic Discovery Trail.
