Wendy Cline,

"Jillian honestly listens and cares about all the residents and employees in Scio. Her integrity is beyond reproach.

She follows the laws and ordinances and doesn’t ignore them to benefit herself and a small group of wealthy insiders. She is the light and leader we need to lead Scio for years to come."
