Amy Norquist brings valuable experience to Cowlitz County
What a nice thing has happened!
D. Norquist's daughter, Amy Norquist, has returned to live in Longview. She was born and raised here, and lived in various places around the U.S. in the interim.
She's had the opportunity to observe a lot of ways of doing things — what works and what doesn't. She is now running for county commissioner.
We'd be getting a real bargain if she wins. Please join me in voting for Amy.

Amy Norquist would make a great Cowlitz County commissioner
I am supporting the candidacy of Amy Norquist for Cowlitz County Commissioner District 2.
Amy grew up locally and attended R.A. Long High School, where she excelled in athletics and academics. She earned her Masters in Public Administration, with a public policy focus, and has been involved with large government projects. She taught courses at several major universities throughout the U.S.
She started her own company and received a top innovator award from Aspen Institute and Intel.
As a commissioner, Amy wants to invest in our aging infrastructure, improve public health for county citizens, create new economic opportunities and jobs, tackle homelessness through comprehensive strategies, and continue our environmental stewardship.
Amy Norquist will bring wisdom, compassion, experience and education to the position, with a style of leadership that is collaborative and cooperative. She will be the creative, visionary leader we so desperately need.
When you get your ballot in the mail, vote for Amy Norquist, and urge your family and friends to do the same.
