Editor,

I’m voting for Helen Price Johnson for state senator for one reason — her experience. It’s an easy decision for anyone aware of her work on behalf of our community for the past 12 years as an Island County Commissioner.

Now she wants to represent us all at the state level.

Helen is a moderate who demonstrates she is pro economic growth, pro-innovation and fiscally responsible. I admire her long-time work on behalf of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, so I’ve seen her land and cultural preservation values in action, too.

Helen Price Johnson works with all of her constituents fairly and honestly. Her years of action protecting our community are louder than any words. Her consensus building experience is so welcome and critical at this divisive political time.

As the more dedicated, experienced candidate, she has my vote.
