Erin O’Connell
Position #1, Chair
[Planning Commission]
Erin relocated to Oregon in 2005 with her husband. They have two adult children and two four legged kids.
Coming from living rurally, they wanted to live in a small town but also close to the big city to have new experiences. Rainier offered a unique opportunity for this and the town has become home with great neighbors and a beautiful environment.
Erin works in public service for Columbia County and believes in making people’s lives better. Participation in government is a right all citizens have and is extremely important. Volunteering and helping to make a positive impact is very rewarding and she looks to make a difference for the community of Rainier.
