Statement: I have many reasons to want to continue serving on the Centralia City Council, most of all to say “thank you for the life I’ve been able to live in Centralia and Lewis County.” Second is to encourage what I will refer to as “Do Dreamers” those people who have a vision and passion for getting things done and have the ability to gather people and financial resources to accomplish it.
We are fortunate to have many “Do Dreamers” in our community. Every volunteer group, every organization and every successful business has a “Do Dreamer” I would welcome the opportunity to serve on Centralia City Council for the next four years and help support them to accomplish their dreams for the success of the City of Centralia and continue to make Centralia a great place to live work and play.Contact: (360) 736-9758, lbcoumbs@gmail.com, 2711 Howard Ave, Centralia, WA 98531
