I worked with Ayla for about 10 years in a very fast paced recovery room/critical care unit. She was a great mentor and charge nurse. She was always the person to go to when we needed plan B. Her experience and wisdom gave her the ability to problem solve quickly and reassure the ones being cared for as well. She was always an advocate for both the nurses and the patients by ensuring a safe environment and an accountable staff. Her sense of humor was the best gift ever, especially in critical moments. She loves learning new things and teaching others. She has inspired many young people to become nurses.

Ayla gets it—our forests, farms, fisheries, and mines matter. She’s tough, independent, and stands up to overreach while protecting what makes our communities strong.

Ayla never gives up on finding the answers to the questions. She is resilient and tenacious.

Ayla does the research. She trusts but verifies. Ayla gets the job done and is a great negotiator to find a compromise and close the deal. Ayla is from West Washington County and she understands the needs of both our rural residents and our land. She is a true West ender.

Ayla Hofler is not only qualified, she cares deeply about people and the role of county government. Ayla will fight for the rights of all Washington county residents.

Ayla will bring back common sense to governing Washington County.
