I may no longer live within Camas city limits, but I grew up here and still spend a lot of time in the community. My roots in Camas run deep, and I care about the direction of the city I still consider home. That’s why I want to voice my strong support for Leslie Lewallen’s re-election to the Camas City Council.

Leslie is exactly the kind of leader every community needs — approachable, thoughtful, and genuinely responsive to the people she serves. I experienced this firsthand when my parents were affected by the city’s previous ordinance restricting residents from parking RVs in their own driveways. I brought the issue to Leslie’s attention, and she took the time to listen, ask questions, and understand how the rule impacted everyday homeowners.

Instead of dismissing it as a small issue, she brought it before the council — and thanks in part to her advocacy, the city ultimately revised the ordinance to allow residents more flexibility and fairness in storing their RVs (The Columbian, Oct. 8, 2025: “Just be reasonable about it — Camas City Council approves revised RV ordinance”).

That’s what real representation looks like. Leslie listens, she acts, and she gets results that make sense for the people who live there. She approaches her role with common sense, fiscal responsibility, and genuine care for her community.

Camas is lucky to have Leslie Lewallen on the City Council. I strongly encourage residents to re-elect Leslie Lewallen and keep her thoughtful, effective leadership working for the people.
