Donna Gow is running for Bonner County assessor in the upcoming election. I am asking you for your vote, and continued support. I served as Bonner County coroner for 31 years, and can tell you that on-the-job training is important.

Donna’s 28 years of experience in the Assessor’s Office gives her the training, the schooling and the history. She and her husband, George, own and operate a small business here in the county. They are property owners and have invested, themselves, their money and they believe in Bonner County. Their two sons are both service oriented, Greg with the U.S. Air Force and Michael with the Selkirk Fire Department. We, as Bonner County property owners, do not need to educate, and then train a new office manager. I would classify that expense as “unneeded overhead.”

Donna has the history, and background, of the office. She is familiar with the employees, knows where the files are and can go to work, with efficiency, when she is sworn in. Please join me in voting for Donna Gow, Bonner County assessor on Nov. 6. Your vote is your voice, please let us hear from you.
