Mike Backman’s Campaign Goals About Mike Backman Mike Backman is committed to serving the people of Wahkiakum County and making positive changes for the community. He aims to improve infrastructure, support small businesses, and promote sustainable agriculture. One Community We can learn to work together as one community. I am in favor of long-term wins for the community, not jus a short-term win for an entity. There may not be one clear way or one size fits all in learning how to thrive for a ‘long-term win’ especially in times of uncertainty. Yet, there’s a tremendous learning opportunity the world is offering right now that we can take in how we can begin to do things differently to help us thrive. Small Businesses Providing resources and support for local entrepreneurs to thrive and create job opportunities.

Sustainable Agriculture Promoting environmentally responsible farming practices and supporting local farmers and producers. Community Involvement Encouraging community engagement and listening to the needs and concerns of citizens.
