Commissioner campaigns draw contributions

Citizens back their candidates with bucks.

“Supporters are already lining up behind their picks for Island County Commissioner. And they’re doing it with dollars.So far, more than $35,000 in cash and in-kind donations has been donated to the various campaigns according to the most current disclosure statements filed with the Island County Auditor through mid-June. Incumbent District 1 Commissioner Mike Shelton, who has yet to draw a challenger, is leading the pack in contributions with more than $15,000 collected. District 2 incumbent Mac McDowell and his Democratic rival Lynne Wilcox have raised about $10,000 apiece. Republican Marvin Koorn, who is challenging McDowell in the September primary, declared his candidacy less than a month ago, and shows contributions of $500.Many contributions are less than $100, with only a couple reaching into the $1,000 range. Here is a list of some of the larger contributors as of the middle of last month.DISTRICT 2 COMMISSIONERMARVIN KOORN, RepublicanDonna Painter, Oak Harbor $250Dennis Painter, Oak Harbor $250MAC MCDOWELL, RepublicanWilliam L.
