A Monongahela woman has announced her candidacy for Washington County commissioner on the Republican ballot in the May 16th primary. Ashley Duff says she wants to champion revitalization and investment commitments into small-town communities; strengthen partnerships with existing industries like the energy sector, to ensure quality, high-paying jobs for decades to come. Duff says she believes in the concept of term limits, as she has grown tired of career politicians and wants to bring fresh innovative thinking, along with out-of-the-box solutions to serve the needs of the people. Duff’s career has consisted of working in a variety of managerial and administrative positions within the communities of Washington County. During her time in the service industry, she says her leadership and administrative skills were utilized to help grow an upscale Italian Restaurant in Peters Township where she was quickly promoted to front-end trainer, then into management. Next, as an Administrative Assistant and volunteer at Central Assembly of God Church in Chartiers-Houston, Duff says she spearheaded the Hope Dinner Ministry that would serve an elegant sit-down dinner for homeless and low-income guests.
