Editor,
When I was in my 20s, I worked for social justice and followed my heart when voting for candidates who most represented my values. Hence, I voted for candidates of the Democratic Party.
This November you a definite choice as you vote for a senator to represent you in Olympia.
Regarding Ed Hickey’s climate denialist Sept. 21 letter to the editor, sorry but your arguments are not facts. They are discredited talking points right out of the industry’s handbook, all refuted long ago.
Using facts, not fiction or unfounded accusations, I want to express my support for Angie Homola for state Senate in the 10th District. Angie’s qualifications have been thoroughly vetted by others, so I’ll focus on why she is more aligned with my beliefs and values than her opponent, Sen. Barbara Bailey.
On the Island County Board of Commissioners, Angie Homola was out of control with our tax dollars. She spent her time protecting bureaucracy and friends, while cutting funding for sheriff’s deputies and pursuing tax increases.
I have never been one to write letters to the editor but, being 76, I feel it’s time to start. As a Whidbey Islander for 45 years, I watched many elected officials come and go.
