Former Camas Police Chief Don Chaney says Leslie Lewallen is a ‘tireless citizen advocate’
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and may not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

I proudly support retaining Leslie Lewallen for Camas City Council. She’s smart, grounded, and brings real-world solutions to local challenges. A tireless citizen advocate, Leslie listens, understands, and acts.
As a former deputy prosecuting attorney, Leslie balances accountability with fairness and compassion. Her common-sense, no-nonsense approach sets her apart. Camas needs leaders who don’t just promise, but deliver. Leslie is that kind of leader. Let’s keep her working hard and delivering results for our community. Experience matters!
Don Chaney
Camas City councilor (2008-24) and retired Camas police chief
