Editor,

As the former Island County Sheriff, I understand the difficulties and complexities of the job better than most. That is why I am giving my full endorsement to the incumbent Sheriff Rick Felici.

Rick has shown our community that he is responsive to the ever-changing landscape of law enforcement in island County. He has always been honest, candid and truthful when confronted with issues like legislative changes, the pandemic and concerns about police reform. Rick Felici has shown our community he has what it takes to lead the Island County Sheriff’s Office and is deserving of four more years as our sheriff.
