Clayton is collaborative and collegial

Bertha Clayton will be a great addition to the Walla Walla Board of County Commissioners. Bertha was my associate attorney for several years. I frequently watched her listen to clients, thoroughly research the law and facts of a case until she had a good understanding, and then appear before a Judge with assurance and professionalism.  When the Employment Security Department asked Bertha to lead the Washington State Agricultural Worker program, a program that farmers have relied upon through many federal administrations, she made the transition to assuring that both farmers’ and temporary foreign employees’ needs are met.  Her approach to challenges is collaborative and collegial. These qualities will be equally valuable as Bertha works for and with all members of Walla Walla County.
