A Rumor Squashed…
Posted in: Uncategorized | Comments Off
There is an issue that I would like to address and clear up.
I am having some back problems that are being taken care of. Because of the pain when I walk, I am unable to walk the neighborhoods as much as I would like but, I am walking as much as I am able . If you don’t see me at your door, it is not because I don’t want to talk, because your thoughts and ideas are important to me and important to the governance of the city.
Please feel free to email me at chet.makinster @gmail.com. and give me your questions and thoughts.
It has been brought to my attention that someone has started a rumor that I might not be able to fulfill my responsibilities as your councilman because of my back. That could not be farther from the truth .
I am ready ,willing , and able! I plan to start serving the citizens January 1st, 2010.
Please remember to vote by November 3rd
Thanks Chet.

Wow, what a campaign!
Posted in: Uncategorized | Comments Off
I am overwhelmed with the community’s response to my campaign for city council. Wherever I go, the citizens are expressing their support and sharing that they are overjoyed that I’m running. The returns from my mailing have been tremendous! Signs are being printed for the third time, so if you haven’t received yours yet, they’ll be here soon. I am proud of the fact that I am getting support from across the political spectrum, it is very encouraging!
Even with all of the support, we can’t rest on our laurels, so if you or someone you know would like to help on the campaign to elect CHET MAKINSTER TO LONGVIEW CITY COUNCIL POSITION 6, please let me know.
Please give me your vote on November 3rd!
Thank You!

Ideals for Longview
Posted in: Uncategorized | Comments Off
If you have been reading the paper or attending the council meetings and workshops, as I have for many months, you can see that we need leaders that:
*Prepare themselves for the meetings
*Treat all people with respect
*Don’t try to micromanage staff
*Are not afraid to make decisions
*Provide leadership
*Use common sense
*Be accountable
*and don’t play political games.
CHET MAKINSTER believes in these ideals and will serve the citizens of Longview following them.
