The upcoming election is a critical one for San Juan County, and we want to express our strong support for Lovel Pratt, Lisa Byers and Jamie Stephens for county council.

We believe that these three individuals are the most likely to work as a team to return good, thoughtful governance to San Juan County, free of the negativity and acrimony we have experienced in recent times. All have demonstrated leadership and management skills, are good listeners, and have a wealth of experience in working with and for the County.

Lovel has represented the County in Olympia and has the trust and confidence of our elected representatives there, Lisa has successfully managed affordable housing efforts on Orcas Island, and Jamie has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life for all Lopez residents–and ably serves as the current council chairman.

Please join us in supporting Lovel, Lisa and Jamie for county council.

John and Carol Whetten
