PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday May 15, 2015
Contact: Mike Dalesandro, (360) 949-6328
BATTLE GROUND, WA – Battle Ground resident and City Councilmember Mike Dalesandro announced he will seek the Clark County Chair position authorized by the Home Rule Charter passed last year. Mike has been active with various non-profit organizations and in his community for years before serving on the Battle Ground City Council for the last year and a half. Mike has seen first-hand what good can come from collaboration and constructive dialogue. By working together, Battle Ground has remained one of most affordable cities for families in our region all while seeing more business and job growth; Mike hopes to bring this same spirit of collaboration to the Clark County Council.
“It’s time to change the politics in Clark County. I fully support the Charter and the new form of government. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity from all corners of Clark County to chart this new course, together, that’s why I’ve decided to seek the Council Chair position”, Mike Dalesandro said.
Dalesandro, 34, lives in Battle Ground with his wife Angie and two daughters.
More details about the campaign will come soon, including a campaign kickoff and information on how you can get involved!

Dalesandro will be running against current Councilor’s Tom Mielke, David Madore and Jeanne E. Stewart, Republicans. Also running is former County Commissioner Marc Boldt, seemingly long confused about party affiliation, claiming Republican, voting Democrat often and now claiming nonpartisan.
Mike Dalesandro has filed as a Democrat, making him the lone Democrat seeking to hold the County Council Chair position.
By all appearances, given how many have filed for other positions, this primary election has all of the earmarks to be a real circus, LOL.
May the best candidate win and differences be put aside once the votes are counted.
