Pattie Gray for Pacific County Commissioner,Position 3.

My name is Pattie Gray. I am an America First patriot. I do the right thing. I have worked hard to attain the American dream. When I have been faced with adversity, I stand tall and I continue to do the right thing. When I am faced with obstacles, I find a way to hurdle over the obstacles, because that's the right thing to do.

I am committed to making a positive difference for the citizens of Pacific County. I am not a person who goes along to get along. I will take the will of the citizens to the commissioner's seat and I will work to make a positive difference in your lives. I will do what I say I am going to do. And what I do will always be the right thing.

Since the moment I filed to run for office with the Public Disclosure Commission on February 5, 2025, I have been persecuted publicly because of what I believe by those who do not want me to succeed. I was fired from a job I loved exactly two weeks after filing to run for public office. This is illegal because filing for public office is considered protected political activity. Everyone has a right to run for public office. No one should lose their job for getting involved and running for an elected position. I filed to run because I want to make a difference where I live and to make a difference in the “status quo” that exists in county government right now.

After months of applying for jobs, many interviews and many rejections, I was finally hired. However, within two and a half months on the job with no problems, along with compliments from customers, staff and management, the powers that be in this county got me fired from job number two. I am committed, I will persevere and I will not give up.

This is what a true American patriot does. I am not a victim, I am a true warrior, a survivor. I have survived this persecution by doing the right thing, which is stepping up, working hard and pushing through all the adversity. This is what America is all about. This is what America was built on.

This is what my family did when they immigrated to the U.S. They acclimated by learning the language, getting a job, working hard to attain the American dream and doing the right thing. They didn't come here looking for handouts or to live off social services — they came here to succeed with their own blood, sweat and tears.

I will not back down in this endeavor to run for County Commissioner and I will not cave. The American way is to work hard. If that means working three and four jobs to reach the American dream, I'll do it. That's what I have been forced to do.

I am the master of my own destiny and I will not let anyone else crush my dreams, even though they are trying to do just that. I will continue to do the right thing. I will stand on my convictions and my moral compass and not waver to please people. I will work as hard for you after I am elected as I work for myself right now.

God has set me here for a time such as this. He is guiding and protecting me every step of the way. This is His plan for me and I am doing His will.

We have two initiatives to sign if you haven't yet — one is to end the sanctuary state put forth by Recall the Establishment, and the other is proof of ID to register to vote put forth by Let's Go Washington. They are both important.

As your next County Commissioner, I am not going to control your life — I'm here to clear a path for you to live your best life.

I now ask you to do the right thing: vote for Pattie Gray for County Commissioner, because freedom doesn't trickle down from Olympia, it starts right here at home.
