Westside Economic Alliance

04/29/2026

💫 Today Westside Economic Alliance hosted a candidate forum for the Washington County Chair's race. Our thanks to KGW-TV and Chief Anchor David Molko for his top-notch moderation. And to Nafisa Fai for Washington County Chair and Pam Treece for Washington County Chair for taking time out of their busy schedules to join us.

✅ Topics ranged from taxes to land use to leadership style. And, while WEA doesn't endorse in candidate campaigns, we work hard to ensure our members have access to the information they need to cast an informed vote.

One place both candidates agree? They are both voting "YES" to support the transportation funding proposal on the May ballot.

👍 Thanks to MACC-TVCTV, we will soon have a recording of the forum to share.

📺 Tune into KGW-TVKGW-TV this evening to catch a quick chat with each of the candidates.

📣 A shout out to Perlo Construction for use of your amazing space. And, of course, to our Forum Series sponsor Legacy Health for your years of ongoing support.



NOTE: The third candidate, Jenny Kamprath, was invited but declined the invitation due to scheduling constraints.

📣 It's not too late to grab your seat!

💥 💥 Next week WEA is hosting one of the most important forums of the year, the Washington County Chair's Candidate Forum.

🚨 The next Washington County Chair will have to lead hard, public conversations about funding for countywide transportation, critical infrastructure, a new Courthouse and growth. Not to mention ensure the county can balance their budget while still meeting the needs of the county's most vulnerable residents. While WEA does not endorse in candidate races, we will do our best to ensure we are providing opportunities to educate and inform our members.

All registered attendees will have the chance to submit questions online which will then be provided to our moderator, KGW-TV Chief Anchor David Molko. 🎤

💫 Take a minute to sign up today. (Lunch is included with your ticket.)
