Editor,

I have had the privilege of knowing Steven Myres for over 40 years, and during my tenure as Island County Commissioner, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand his exceptional organizational skills, keen attention to detail, and adept budget management, during the construction of the Law and Justice Facility in Coupeville.

I firmly believe that Steven Myres is the ideal candidate for Island County commissioner. His wealth of experience, coupled with his proven track record of effective leadership, makes him the right choice to guide our county towards continued growth and prosperity while protecting the rural character of our home.

I wholeheartedly endorse Steven Myres for the position of Island County commissioner and am confident that his vision, coupled with his exceptional skills, will contribute significantly to the well-being of our community.
