Jon Lind, left; Dan Driscoll, right

We were pleased to learn the other day that Jon Lind, who came in third in the race for Pacifc  County Commissioner’s #2 seat, has fully endorsed Dan Driscoll!  In a press release sent out on August 20th:

Independent Candidate Jon Lind is supporting Libertarian Candidate Dan Driscoll in his campaign to unseat two-term Democrat incumbent Frank Wolfe to represent district number 2 as Pacific County Commissioner. Lind’s support of Driscoll is highly valuable to Driscoll in District number 2.   It is expected to solidify the anti-incumbent vote.  In the recently certified results of the Primary run off,  56.93% of voters voted against the incumbent.  

Dan At The Office

The primary drew state-wide attention on this race because Driscoll set a record for the most votes received by a third party candidate in traditionally anti-third party Pacific County. Regardless of whether Libertarian challenger Driscoll or Democrat incumbent Wolfe prevails in the November county wide election, Driscoll is almost certain to top this record.

Put another way, incumbent Frank Wolfe received 1,595 votes or 42.49% in the Primary.  Dan Driscoll received 1,491 votes of 39.72% and Jon Lind received 646 or 17.21 percent.  With only a 104 vote difference betwween Frank and Dan, the endorsement by John should be a shoe-in but… we can-but-hope while we urge everyone to vote in the General Election.

Dan The Oyster Man!

In that election, unlike the  Primary, all of Pacific County will be voting for the Commissioner’s spot.  (In the Primary, of course, it was only voters in Dictrict #2 who could vote.)  So it is important for all of us to urge friends, relatives, co-workers etc. who live in the southern part of Peninsula, in Chinook, in Naselle, and in north county to vote for Dan in November.  (I tried to get a map to post here but, as in most other things in our county, the information is less than transparent.  Perhaps you will have better luck than I in finding exactly where the boundaries are.)

In any case, every eligible voter in Pacific County will have the opportunity to vote for Dan in the upcoming election.  He has my endorsement for oh! so many reasons — see my blog of July 12, 2020, “https://sydneyofoysterville.com/2020/dan-driscoll-into-the-fray/  You’ll no doubt have other great reasons to vote for Dan.  Do share them!  (I’m not sure his delicious oysters are a qualifying reason… but they certainly can’t hurt!)
