Endorsement Letters: Bernadette Pelissier

Posted on May 1, 2008 by Staff

For Pelissier

Bernadette Pelissier would make a great county commissioner. She’s capable and fair-minded and will put energy and time into the position. If elected, she will put an emphasis on social services, including mental health and health care. She’ll be a strong advocate for affordable housing and the environment. She’ll make a good link between those of us who live in town and folks in more rural areas of the county. I’m voting for her in the at-large district for county commissioner and encourage you to as well.

For Kinnaird and Pelissier

Ellie Kinnaird is a stalwart leader and voice for her constituents. Ellie pioneered key legislation on social justice, immigration, and mental health, as a model steward of the environment and in voting and campaign-finance reform. Ellie embodies practices of exemplary leadership. Ellie inspires shared vision, challenges the process, encourages the heart and enables others to act. Seize the initiative, make challenge meaningful. Vote for Ellie!

I have worked with Bernadette Pelissier since the 2006 Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce Madison, Wisconsin Inter-city visit. A diverse group of 102 community and county leaders visited Madison. Serving on the Community Leadership Council for the visit, Bernadette led the sustainable-future intercity-visitation workgroup. With Bernadette’s leadership, this workgroup closely examined the interdependency of community, economy and environment. Bernadette has consistently demonstrated clear understanding of the interlaced needs, problems, opportunities and solutions we share locally, countywide and regionally, as evidenced through her work on the Community Leadership Council, OWASA, the Orange County Planning Board and the Triangle-wide Special Transit Advisory Committee. Bernadette is a solid leader with heart, wisdom and experience. Join me in voting for Bernadette for Orange County commissioner.

For Pelissier

With many critical issues facing Orange County today and in the future, we need leaders who work hard, do their homework and make important decisions thoughtfully. Bernadette Pelissier, who is running at-large for a position as county commissioner, is just such a leader. She has shown a sustained commitment to Orange County through a variety of volunteer positions that cover many of the areas in which county commissioners make decisions. She is a trustworthy, open-minded person who will never let herself get bogged down in politics, but, rather, will approach all issues as an advocate for the best interests of the county.

Please vote in the primary on May 6th, and please vote for a strong leader in Bernadette Pelissier for at-large county commissioner.
