When Carolyne Perez was just 10 years old, she moved to the Long Beach Peninsula and she never left. A proud graduate of Ilwaco High School, Carolyne has deep roots in Pacific County and a strong sense of what makes this rural, tight-knit place special. Now, as the first Hispanic person to serve on her local school board, she’s making history and helping others feel seen.

At Pacific County Voices Uniting (PCVU), we want to take a moment to share our deep appreciation for the incredible efforts of our canvassers, volunteers, and supporters who gave their time, energy, and hearts to the campaign for Proposition No. 1.

At Pacific County Voices Uniting (PCVU), we believe that healthy communities start with strong, accessible healthcare. That’s why we’re thrilled to share an op-ed written by our Executive Director, Bethany Barnard, published in the Willapa Herald. In this piece, Bethany explains why Proposition No. 1 is so crucial to the future of healthcare in Pacific County.

"This is about more than just bricks and mortar—it’s about ensuring our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren have access to the same, if not better, healthcare we had. This is an investment in our future generations, just as those who came before us invested in our healthcare.

We have the chance to make a lasting impact on the health of our community—ensuring that we continue to have access to care for generations to come.”
