Editor,

I was pleased to learn that Rick Hannold is seeking re-election for District 3 Island County Commissioner.

Rick is the man for this job. He is very approachable and has common sense, which is rarely found.

His actions show me that he thinks through all aspects — before responding.

He has integrity and values that Island County needs. We do not want to follow Seattle’s lead.

Rick will assure this does not happen. In order to enjoy the lifestyle we have, we need strong leadership to represent our values.

We cannot afford to have a Democrat elected for District 3 — our future is at stake. Please get involved, talk to everyone you know — and those that you don’t.

It is imperative in order to preserve the lifestyle we have now. The alternative is unimaginable.
