My name is Bob Biles and I am running for a position on the Board of County Commissioners. I want you to know how much I care about the Walla Walla Valley, and how much I greatly admire the people who have made it one of the best places in the world to live.
My roots are sunk deeply into this community, and I already know and respect many of you. You may know me from my work as a landscape maintenance specialist at Whitman College, or perhaps you have purchased flowers, vegetables or Thai food from our family booth at the downtown Farmer’s Market. I am on the Walla Walla City Planning Commission and have been involved with the upcoming revisions of the city’s comprehensive management plan. As a member of the Whitman College Budget Advisory Committee I have helped plan and manage a $50 million annual budget. From 2003 to January of 2006 I was the treasurer for the Walla Walla County Central Democratic Committee. I refereed basketball with the Blue Mountain Officials Association and volunteered two years of my life with the Peace Corps, stationed in the country of Nepal.
In the future, I would like to be able to add that I had the opportunity to serve the citizens of Walla Walla County as your County Commissioner position #3.
