Twelve years ago, we had the opportunity to come to know Ryan Kolodejchuk as a neighbor, and a friend. We served with him on our homeowners’ association architectural control committee for several years where we saw, firsthand, how he deals with controversial, tough, issues.

He is approachable, listens, responds openly and honestly, and works tirelessly to obtain the best solution for all involved.

During his tenure with the city, we have seen Ryan approach his responsibilities as a council member to come up with solutions for the bigger picture in the same manner.

He has the same concerns for our community as we do, exploding residential development, water availability, dangerous hauling trucks from the gravel pit competing on the same roads as our school buses and pedestrians, and the overall infrastructure as we grow to maintain the appeal of our community and make the most of the amazing natural recreational resources surrounding us.

We need good people representing us to ensure our tax dollars are being utilized with common sense, and in a prioritized, transparent, manner. Ryan is good people. He is a committed family man with a strong desire to give back to the community, and his service to date has shown he has North Bend’s best interest at heart. We all need Ryan to be re-elected to the city council so he can continue working on our behalf.
