As a resident of Gearhart, I am very saddened by the recall and the mean-spirited noise from a small group. Gearhart is a wonderful place, with a real spirit of community. Neighbors help and support each other, and care about their town. No one exemplifies these best qualities of Gearhart more than our mayor, Dianne Widdop. She has served us well with competent leadership and cares deeply about her community service.

I regret the tarnish this recall has put on our community and urge a no vote so we can move on, and focus on the legitimate business of Gearhart.
