Appraisers' Free Forum

Edd,

Again, thanks for the kind words. Although it is rare for members of a regulatory board to participate in online forums and discussion groups, there are folks other than me making appearances. They include Oregon Doug and Brian Weaver.

After election (assuming I am successful), I have no plans to diminish my involvement in state and national affairs concerning appraisal. There will be a shift in emphasis to mass appraisal standards and qualifications, but no quitting. My intentions have been made clear to the Chair of the ASB and AQB. Even the staff folks at the ASC are aware I have no plans of fading off into the sunset.

Right now, however, I need assistance from folks across the state and nation to get elected. No amount of work, conversation, forwarding of messages or contribution is too small. The larger my group of supporters and campaign account, the better.

I'm not concerned about that so much. Lord knows we need the same kind of reasonable logic at assessor's offices all across the nation. There aren't enough appraisers to go around, but it might be a good idea to require assessors to be appraisers.

Glad to see this.

Good luck. If the thoughts of thousands of forumites could get you elected, you have already won.

I know "The Force" is with me and feel it often. However, as armies run on their stomachs, campaigns run on money. It's unpleasant but true. My goal is to raise $25,000.00 by the end of March. That coincides with the first Financial Report I file. Showing contributions in excess of $35,000.00 gives notice to other candidates and future contributors. Some folks on this board have demonstrated their support with dollars. I'm hoping that group increases significantly.

My website will be up soon

That will allow contributions by credit card. In the meantime, I'm collecting checks
