“When homelessness came up at the candidate’s forum, only one (Ken Fahlgren) had taken the time to learn about its challenges and the services available……. When casting your ballot, consider who will work for the interests of ALL the citizens of Crook County.”

“Ken is a natural leader who leads by example.  He has an intelligent, reasoned approach to problem solving. He shows kindness and understanding to others and has an overwhelmingly positive attitude. He is encouraging and respectful….these are great strengths for a member of the county commission, where the board members must work to understand diverse points of view and interests.”

“I can guarantee you that Ken and I probably don’t see eye to eye on some political ideals, but he is easy to talk to, fights for what he believes in and carries himself in a very professional and honest manner.  I believe Ken Fahlgren has the experience, community knowledge and personality to do this much better than Seth Crawford has.”
