Campaign website
Schaffeld's campaign website stated the following:
Priorities
What I will focus on as your Wasco County Commissioner.
A Clear Focus for Wasco County
County government works best when it stays focused on what matters most to the people it serves. These are the priorities I will bring to the Commissioner's office.
Responsible Spending
County government should respect taxpayer dollars and focus spending on services that actually benefit residents. Budgets should be transparent, disciplined, and focused on long term needs instead of short term decisions. Every dollar spent should be accountable to the people who paid it.
Public Safety
Strong communities depend on reliable public safety services. Law enforcement, emergency responders, and public safety programs need the resources and support necessary to protect our residents. County leadership must work closely with these agencies to maintain safe communities across Wasco County.
Agriculture and Rural Communities
Agriculture and rural communities play a major role in the identity and economy of Wasco County. County policies should recognize the importance of farming, ranching, and the people who work the land. Decisions made at the county level should protect water access, land use rights, and the long term viability of agriculture.
Transparency in Government
Residents deserve to understand how decisions are made and how their tax dollars are being used. County government should operate openly and provide clear communication with the public. Transparency builds trust and allows residents to stay informed about the direction of their county.
Supporting Local Businesses
As a local business owner, I understand the challenges people face when regulations grow and costs increase. County policy should help local businesses and working families succeed, not create barriers that make it harder to operate and grow in Wasco County.
Practical, Common Sense Leadership
My goal is to represent the people of Wasco County with honesty, common sense, and a commitment to doing what is right for our communities. Decisions should be practical, thoughtful, and focused on the long term strength of our county.
