Editor,

As a concerned citizen of Island County, I would like to express my support for the re-election of incumbent Sheriff Rick Felici. The issues facing law enforcement in the entire nation have been especially intense these past few years. It is essential for our safety and well-being that the public supports our local police.

In our community I have been impressed with the quality of leadership demonstrated by Island County Sheriff Rick Felici. I have found him to be extremely well qualified and broadly versed in the many aspects of law enforcement and management of the sheriff’s office during his present term as sheriff. He is a dedicated public official.

Our community needs Sheriff Felici to continue in this role for Island County. Please vote for Sheriff Felici.
