Farmers or members of the <br />farm community are also good messengers that may appeal to all, including hard -to -get voters, though <br />construction workers have higher trust among the base groups. <br />Trusted Messengers by Target Voters <br />Local emergency service providers <br />Farmers or members of the farm community 55% 43% 64% 40% <br />People in construction who work on 20% <br />road/bridge repairs <br />People who work at the Public Works 35% 38% 20% <br />Department <br />Kittitas County Commissioners 21% 26% 9% <br />When it comes to sources of information, nearly half of voters indicate that special mailing is the best <br />way to be informed about the county's transportation funding needs.
