Editor,

Too often, we elect someone for what we think they will do, be and become. Karla Jacks is already a proven leader and will be a grand Island County commissioner.

Jacks is pragmatic; she cares about others and will continue to make a difference in this region. She has led the Camano Center to great successes, raised three admirable young men and worked tirelessly to help support schools by volunteering her time, energy and resources.

Jacks will work to find solutions to support Island Transit and the needs of seniors and disabled. Anyone that knows Jacks will be the first to tell you she never quits working.

She will help maintain access to clean water and beaches. She will have an open door policy to your ideas and opinions. She will support NAS Whidbey and work with other elected officials and the base leadership to find common ground to bring sides together.

Elect Karla Jacks for the leadership skills, integrity and love for this community she already has. Vote Karla Jacks for Island County commissioner. I am a believer.
