The election nears…

Second district County Council candidate Laura Jo Severson met up with incumbent State Representative Jeff Morris and incumbent State Senator Kevin Ranker at a fundraiser this weekend; both endorsed her.

Well, Election Day comes up on November second this year, which means the mail-in ballots will soon be in the mail. This week on San Juan Island, there will be a couple of chances for you to hear the candidates for the County Council’s Second District on our island (that’s kind of the north part of the island, not including Friday Harbor), as well as a chance to see the other candidates.

First, with just candidates Laura Jo Severson & Rich Peterson, there will be a discussion between  on Wednesday, October 13th, at the Mullis Center at 7:00pm, with The Island Guardian’s Jack Cory moderating.  That event is sponsored by the San Juan Builders Association.

Then Friday at 6:30pm at the middle school, the League of Women Voters has invited a bunch of folks to a candidates forum – they tell me candidates for the following positions have been invited: U.S Representative, Congressional District 2; State Representative, District 40, Positions 1 & 2; San Juan County Council District 2; and the San Juan County Sheriff.

Also, Rich Peterson will be meeting and greeting folks who would like to come by  285 Spring Street next Sunday, October 17th from 10:00 a.m. until noon.

Second District County Council Rich Peterson held meet & greets this past weekend in Friday Harbor, and has another scheduled next weekend; Rich & Laura Jo will meet for a public candidates' discussion on Wednesday.
