PRESS RELEASE
January 30, 2012
Roslynne Reed, Democrat, announced she is running for Mason County Commissioner, District 2, stating, “We need to get serious about the business of governing the county. Pretending it is a part-time position is still not working. We need to fill local positions with qualified individuals, not career politicians.”
Besides full-time representation, actual budget oversight and program management will be necessary to assure fairness and equity of the public’s resources. Reed will work with the other local governments, chamber organizations, and community members to develop a vision for the county and a plan to reach stated goals. People like living in Mason County because it is a beautiful place and has a lot to offer. However, jobs continue to be a problem and no cohesive plan has surfaced to bring compatible businesses to the area.
Reed further says, “I have extensive experience in personnel management, conflict resolution, budgeting and fiscal management. I have a commitment to community demonstrated by my active participation in community projects and events, and a regular attendee at County meetings to keep informed on issues and problems facing our district and region. I have been a small business owner, and have an appreciation for the challenges facing our local businesses.”
Roslynne Reed is a native of Shelton, born in Mason General Hospital in 1952. She is a Skokomish Tribal Member and related to members of the Squaxin Island Tribe. Roslynne Reed retired from the Federal Aviation Administration in 1997 at the age of 45, after working in various positions such as Air Traffic Controller, Program/Management Specialist, Human Resource Specialist, Drug & Alcohol Coordinator, and Training Supervisor. She was elected to the Skokomish Tribal Council for a 4-year term and during that time, elected to General Council President for two one-year terms. She held management positions in the Skokomish Tribe and continues serving on various Tribal committees.
Roslynne Reed is a Hood Canal School Board Member, Vice-Chair of the League of Women Voters Mason County, Skokomish Precinct Committee Officer, and a member of the Shelton and North Mason Chambers of Commerce and the Union Tourism Association.

ReplyDeleteHEARTfelt thank YOUs!!!
!!!GO ROS GO!!!
Thank you, Roslynne, for being willing to take on this responsibility.
ReplyDeleteWe have known you for 3 years and have watched you stand-up for the citizens during numerous County and Port meetings. You have been very active in this community in other ways -- among them, as President of the Mason County League of Women.
You are truly a leader for the People!
Be still my beating heart. A candidate with a conscience who also has compassion and intelligence. Go Ros!!!
ReplyDeleteNow if we could only find a candidate to run for Jerry Lingle's old seat WHO HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN REJECTED BY THE VOTERS OF MASON COUNTY, we could have Roslynne, Denny Hamilton and a candidate yet to be named, to help turn things around in our community and put the citizens back on the top of the local food chain.
