Editor,

Shane Hoffmire delivers. He ran a positive campaign for city council, keeping to the high road as some stooped to incivility. Since receiving 73% of the vote in that election, Shane has been true to his word. He has listened and responded to the people of Oak Harbor, working tirelessly and successfully to decrease costs and fees to the citizenry.

Shane has been transparent, honest and available during his time on the council, approaching every issue with an eye for the win-win solution. Witnessing his approach to serving on the council, along with his history in management and administrative positions, Shane’s character, work ethic and experience make him a clear choice for the next mayor of Oak Harbor. It is my pleasure to wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy.
