LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Republican likes Price Johnson

In my 31-year career in law enforcement, I’ve observed and worked closely with many locally elected officials. Often during those years I voted for Republicans of the Dan Evans ilk, appreciating their practicality and fiscal prudence.

To the editor:

In my 31-year career in law enforcement, I’ve observed and worked closely with many locally elected officials. Often during those years I voted for Republicans of the Dan Evans ilk, appreciating their practicality and fiscal prudence.

But I have come to a deep appreciation for the track record Helen Price Johnson has accrued in her first term. She is a natural leader with a grasp of the complexity of the issues we face as a community in these hard times. She listens, learns, and moves forward in a way that balances many competing interests. She has my vote for re-election to the Island County Board of Commissioners
