Vote Frank Morrison

Vote Frank Morrison Our community knows what’s best for our community. I value resourceful living with a team based approach that provides accountability based decisions.

Starting my professional life in Cowlitz County 34 years ago I realized it required resilience, hard work, and perseverance to be successful. History’s shown that I am willing to risk my personal comfort and safety for the sake of others in our community. My wife and I adopted 5 children, along with our 3 biological children, from this community that had mental health issues. Being solution focuse

d, I founded a Medicaid funded behavioral health agency that has served over 300 local individuals and families since early 2015. Skills gained from over 25 years of business experience at Wood’s Logging Supply will help our community create an environment that promotes job growth and sustainability. I’m a relationship based leader, for 3 years I led approximately 800 volunteers and accomplished over 150 local service projects through the church community. I promote an organizational structure that supports integration. Most recently I have transformed Community House into a family homeless recovery center that provides services to over 500 people annually with great outcomes. I believe this is a community of opportunity! Please send donations to PO Box 332, Longview, WA 98632. Payable to Frank Morrison Campaign.

Is there any such thing as an open bid to the public process anymore? Check to see when the last time these services were open to the public for open bid.
The same thing happened with Behavioral Health Tax money. Commissioners just roll over into renewal at will.
I guess it's fine for those who are apart of the "GOOD OLE BOYS AND GIRLS"

Good leaders take people where they 'want' to go,
Great leaders take people where they 'need' to go!
We need leaders willing to take our county where it needs to go. We need Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman to step up as our new county commissioners.

We need a new homeless plan implemented with all the agencies given proportional priority. If half of the homeless are children then half of the funding should go to children's homeless programs. Last year alone, Longview School District counted 495 homeless school age children. Shouldn't that be an indication.

The county had $756,000 available with no strings attached. Why didn't the commissioners help fund Community House who had approximately 200 children residing? Shouldn't we keep children safe?

The two new candidates for commissioner Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman seem gifted at listening with humility and would be diligent to deliver. I have learned that both candidates Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman are intelligent, credible candidates.
Change the old ways to a new way by voting for Cowlitz County Commissioner Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman.

A great leader in our community taught me, "Good leaders take people where they 'want' to go but Great leaders take people where they 'need' to go!" That being said, we need some leaders willing to take our county where it needs to go. In order for that to be fulfilled the two current county commissioners need their positions filled by candidates Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman.
We need a new 911 system and infrastructure with a healthy plan for all of the agencies involved. Why is this now just being worked on? Both current commissioners up for re-election have avoided solving this issue the last 4 to 6 years. We need two new commissioners willing to give leadership that will step up to solve this before someone gets seriously hurt.
We need a new homeless plan implemented with all the agencies given proportional priority to address the needs respectively. If half of our homeless population in a year is children along with their families then half of the funding should be allocated in that direction. If the other half is vocational or educational issues, mental health and substance abuse as the cause of homelessness then so be it. Last year alone, Longview School District counted 495 homeless school age children. Community House sheltered almost 200 children overall last year so you can see a shift needs to be made otherwise you can count on homelessness growing exponentially with the current allocations.
The two new candidates for commissioner Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman seem gifted at listening with humility and would be diligent to deliver. I have learned that both candidates Arne Mortensen and Shawn Nyman are intelligent, credible candidates. The language heard lately from the two current incumbents characterizing Shawn Nyman as "wishy washy" and Arne Mortensen as "just a warm body" reveals the mindset of the two current county commissioners.
And we need decisions made for the benefit of the community and not for political reelection. The offer to buy the building Love Overwhelming is in, draws our county no closer to a solution than it was before. Think about it. Why are we allowing $250,000 of our tax dollars being spent or appear to be spent without a business plan for the buildings use? After all, the county was paying $3500 per month rent for the current occupant. So perhaps they are trying to save money.
The condition of our county makes me want to dial 911. But we won't get connected until we reconnect with new leaders. The only ones that can respond is you, the voters. So we need a new plan for the homeless that protects the families with children, a new 911 system and structure that can protect you, your family and friends.
Check the box for Cowlitz County Commissioners Arne Mortensen-District #1 and Shawn Nyman-District #2 if you would like to see change in our county from the old way of doing things to a new way with accountability, responsibility and transparency with the $200 million budget in Cowlitz.
Sincerely, Frank Morrison (former Candidate for Cowlitz County Commissioner District #2)

Here's one of my favorite people in my life while coaching at Western Youth Baseball. Jimmie helped coach the team when Forrest was in Major Minor. I love the truth of the statement written today by Jimmie's parents. So true.

Either way you look at it...
