Elect Steve Bitzer- County Commissioner Position 2

A huge thank you to everyone who supported this campaign and helped share the message throughout our community.

Now that the election is behind us, it’s time to start taking down campaign signs. If you have a sign in your yard or see one still up, we’d really appreciate your help getting them collected over the next few days.

We also could use a few extra hands if anyone is willing to help with sign pickup and cleanup. Even an hour of your time makes a big difference.

Please reach out if you’re able to help or if you need a sign picked up.

Thank you again, Klamath County. Your support means a lot.

Klamath County, I am overwhelmed with gratitude tonight.

When I decided to run for County Commissioner, I made a promise to this community that I would show up, listen, and fight hard for the people who call this place home. Tonight, you answered that promise with your trust, and I do not take that lightly for even a single second.

This victory belongs to every person who knocked on a door, donated their time and money, shared a post, put a sign in their yard, or simply believed that Klamath County deserves better.

To my wife, Kelsey: you have been my rock through every long day and late night of this campaign. To our kids, watching you cheer this family on has reminded me exactly what I am fighting for.

The momentum I have felt across this county has been nothing short of extraordinary. From our farmers and ranchers protecting a way of life, to our small business owners building something from nothing, to the families who just want to feel safe and see a future here, your stories are what fueled every single step of this campaign.

The real work begins now, and I am ready to roll up my sleeves and get after it!

A little under 2 hours left to get your ballot in!

We’re in the final stretch of this campaign, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to talk with me ask questions, and engage in this election.

What stands out most is simple: people in Klamath County want leadership that listens, shows up, and understands what everyday families, farmers, and small businesses are facing.

I have spent this campaign doing exactly that… knocking on doors, having real conversations, and focusing on practical solutions instead of politics as usual.

This race comes down to turnout and trust. If you believe in accountable leadership, stronger community voice, and common-sense decision making at the county level, now is the time to make sure your ballot is in.

Since there are four of us candidates in this race; the policy is someone must win by 51%.
If nobody reaches that number the top two go on to November.

So today go ask 10 random people today if they have voted. Tell them why you are voting for who you are voting for. These last minute ballots can put one of the candidates over that marker…obviously I’d love it to be me.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort and to every voter taking the time to participate in this election. Every single vote matters.

Ballots are due in the drop box by 8pm… make it 7:45 pm just to be safe.

Please like, share, or comment to help spread the word.

It’s the final hours and I want to remind you of all the strong endorsements we’ve gotten in the matter of just a couple of months.

These people right here are a lot of the leaders of our community. I’m not asking if you agree with them all the time because I don’t…. But the respect I have and many others have of them throughout the community is deep. They show up over and over for this town.

This isn’t a popularity contest- these endorsers would never put their name behind someone who they didn’t think could do the job.

If you don’t know me or aren’t comfortable asking me questions just look below and how these people impact the community. This list is very telling.

Again, you make not like them all- but since we are all adults we can separate feelings from facts.

Fact: they are all leaders of our community.

So with just hours on the clock I’m asking you to go vote. Every single vote matters. Don’t be the guy who says “I wasn’t going to vote because it doesn’t matter..” it very much matters.

Let’s finish strong Klamath.

Divided and concurred today- I took my son down to California to soccer and my wife hit the streets.

Thank you again to all who have helped this campaign- it truly takes a village.

Now I ask you to do something- talk to 10 friends- ask if they have voted. You don’t need to ask who they have voted for and don’t get into an argument of who if it comes up. Just make sure your 10 friends are exercising their rights.

We are almost there Klamath but now it’s up to you all and that’s the biggest power of all.

Back at it! Get those votes in Klamath!
