Editor,

I hope voters have noticed that our Island County treasurer, Ana Maria Nuñez, has been endorsed by the Washington State treasurer as well as by fellow County treasurers. There’s a good reason for that: Ms. Nuñez is highly qualified and a leader in her field. Her peers know that.

By contrast, her opponent recently stated in a candidate forum that if elected she would consult her own husband and Yahoo in order to determine county investments. Please. That comment alone should make it crystal clear who should actually be entrusted with our county funds. Let’s re-elect Ana Maria Nuñez as Island County Treasurer.
