Hi! I am Ron Averill and I am running for Lewis County Commissioner, District 1 as a Republican. Please read through this Web Page to learn about my qualifications and issues. If you want more information please contact me by email or phone. Your concerns are important and I want to listen and share my views with you.

If you are like me, you believe Lewis County is a great place to live. We must seek to actively preserve what is best in the county while at the same time allowing opportunity for growth. The Growth Management Act is about managing growth, not LIMITING growth. THE SAD FACT is that we can no longer provide job opportunities for all of our population in natural resources and related industries. THE SAD FACT is that our county's tax base to sustain government operations and services is shrinking, not growing. THE SAD FACT is that the county's population is aging and many of our residents have to seek employment outside of Lewis County.

These are all disturbing trends that threaten our future and demand effective leadership to solve.

My 45 years of civil service have provided me the training and experience to tackle the hard jobs. I have demonstrated my leadership, initiative and integrity. I promise open, limited and fair government. I would appreciate your vote.
