"I have known John Linder for over 20 years. I have full confidence that John's financial and business experience will help return sanity and thoughtfulness to county government. John doesn't play politics - his focus is on the welfare of Yamhill County residents."
-Mary Stern, Former Yamhill County Commissoner
"I have known John for many years. I know he is a competent and caring man who will work for all Yamhill County residents to ensure that all voices are truly heard and respected. I also know John has the skills and knowledge that is essential in getting our county back on track to be fiscally responsible. John understands budgets, grants and funding and we need his expertise to "right size" the county budget."
-LuAnn Anderson, McMinnville School Board Member
"I support John Linder because of his strong professional financial background and proven experience working with budgets. Being a CPA and financial analyst will be useful in managing public resources which requires careful planning, accountability, and an understanding of long-term financial impacts, all of which John has demonstrated in his career. John’s experience reviewing and managing budgets will help ensure that funds are used responsibly and effectively. I believe John’s financial expertise will be a valuable asset in making sound decisions for the people of Yamhill County."
-Jim McMaster, CPRD Chair
"I am a retired attorney who advised the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners over a 13-year period. Yamhill County’s government is a not-for-profit business providing services to all county residents and businesses. The more time County Commissioners spend on politics, ideology and promoting the interests of their friends, the less time the Board has to manage those services.
Having known John Linder for more than 20 years, I know of his deep knowledge of financial matters, his pragmatism, and his commitment to his community. He is the clear choice to govern Yamhill County and I strongly urge you to vote for him in the May 19 primary election."
-Todd Sadlo, Former Yamhill County Counsel
"I long for a Yamhill County Commission that is future-oriented and willing to grow county functions to strengthen and improve our response to the needs of our communities across the county. I believe John is a commissioner candidate who will help bring hard-earned state and federal tax dollars back into the county without any added costs to local taxpayers and all of the benefits those funding streams can offer to the health, safety and livability of our county. "
-Silas Halloran-Stiener, Former HHS Director
“I worked with John when | was State Treasurer. His financial knowledge and ability to frame complex financial tradeoffs made him an asset. I believe he would bring rigor, discipline, and stewardship to the budgeting and financial decision making of the county, as well as looking out for the best interest of its citizens."
-Tobias Read, Secretary of State of Oregon
