  • Camas Slough, although I appreciate your grass roots effort, you may have forgotten Nan Henriksen does not support Liz. She has backed Paul Dennis for a long time. Based on her comments I don’t think she would support Liz even if it was for something other than the Mayor of Camas.

  • I am a Republican too, and I find that she does represent my values. She is pro-business, advocates government efficiency, believes we are over-taxed, and it would be great if she could serve on a transportation committee — because we need an advocate for better roads in southwest Washington. I also think, if asked, that Nan Henricksen would support Liz for the state house of representatives. Nan knows how valuable it will be for Camas to get a strong voice for our city in the state legislature. I see this as a win-win.

  • Hey, and Mark Paras could fly here back and forth to Olympia — she would be the envy of every other state representative. She would have her own private air shuttle! Look at all the time she would save driving I-5.

  • Why not Nan for the position?

  • Jeff, I don’t think Nan is considering re-entry in to political life but if she did I would think that she would have immense support.

  • From the 11/06/07 Columbian -

    Curtis has denied that he did anything wrong.

    Washougal Mayor Stacee Sellers confirmed Monday that she would enter the 18th District contest and would also finish her term as mayor if she is appointed.

    “Sen. (Joe) Zarelli called me and said, ‘Are you interested?’ ” Sellers said. “The answer is yes. My term ends at the end of 2009, but I can hold two offices simultaneously. It’s a short session, and I have a great staff at Washougal.” Zarelli represents the 18th District in the state Senate.

    If appointed, Sellers said, she would work on economic development and transportation issues.

  • Can’t see this. Stacee Sellers has not been successful with Washougal yet. I don’t want to see the 18th District suffer nor the City of Washougal.

    Does she want us to view her as another Paul Dennis? I hope not…

    I agree with Jeff. Nan would be great.

  • I said that tongue in cheek. In conversations with Nan, she has no intention of diving back in to anything political in the foreseeable future.

  • She would be disaster on fiscal and social issues.
