Editor,

I would like take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Island County who voted for me in the primary election to retain my seat as Island County treasurer. I am humbled by the trust and support given to me by the citizens of Whidbey and Camano Islands.

I do not and will not ever take my position as the Island County treasurer lightly. This is a position of trust and the citizens have shown their trust in me by casting the largest amount of votes out of the three opponents in this race in my name. I pledge to never let you down.

I am proud to be a citizen of Island County. I have and will continue to work for the people by keeping the programs I have started through my office, such as online services to those unable to come in to the office, processing tax payments in a timely manner with the help of volunteers, a computer and software program outlined in the 2015 budget and allowing Camano residents to pay their taxes at the Camano Annex.

I will keep giving to the citizens of Island County as they have given to me in the past and future. My trust and my word are paramount to the Island County Treasurer’s office. I am privileged to be your treasurer and will work hard to keep your confidence in my abilities.

ANA MARIA NUÑEZ

Island County treasurer/incumbent
