My name is Leah Diane Grosulak Kaiser and I would like to express my support for Jordan Wolfe and Brandon Affolter for school board.
I moved to Tillamook when I was eleven years old. I graduated from Tillamook High School in 2005 and from Tillamook Bay Community College in 2007. Even though I don’t currently live in the community, I maintain strong connections to Tillamook. My father lives in Tillamook, as does my spouse’s family.
However, my biggest connection is Tillamook County Outdoor School, where I have been a volunteer since 2004. It is also where I met Brandon Affolter and strengthened my friendship with Jordan Wolfe. Both these men have more than demonstrated their commitment to the youth of Tillamook County through literal decades of unpaid service to the community.
While volunteering side by side, I have seen the care, dedication, and commitment of Brandon and Jordan. I have seen Brandon jump to do any task, take on any roll and wear many hats. I have seen Jordan creative problem solve, communicate with ease and bring joy into moments of difficulty. And both have spent the last 20+ years providing positive male role models in Tillamook County. These are qualities that will serve them well on the school board. Both are willing to compromise, communicate, and put in the work. I know this because I have seen it over and over again at camp.
I’m lucky to know Jordan and Brandon outside of camp as well. Brandon is a dedicated and loving father. While Jordan currently has no kids of his own, he is a caring and loyal friend.
You will not regret voting for Jordan and Brandon. They know how to do the work, they know how to care for the community, and they are invested in the youth of Tillamook.
