  • There are three candidates vying for the position of Clallam County District 3 to replace Mike Doherty, who has not filed for reelection. Sissy Bruch is currently a member on the Port Angeles City Council. Prior to that, career highlights include serving on the Planning Commission of Port Angeles and the Landsing, MI Planning Board. She has graduate degrees in Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. Bryon D. Monohon is the currently-serving Mayor of Forks who has recently come under fire for his response to the treatment of dogs at the Olympic Animal Sanctuary. He is not running a strong or well-publicized campaign. Bill Peach served as the Quileute tribe’s executive director from 2009-2011, until he was asked to leave on account of, in his own words, “a philosophical difference with regard to the way [he] was performing [his] business” in “reporting information about the tribe to the tribal council." Sissy Bruch is the best choice in this race.
