• Today at the Democratic HQ (right behind the drug store, next to Marilyn’s Garden Cafe), the Dems continue their series of chances for you to meet candidates:
County Council member Howie Rosenfeld, District 3, will take questions at the next Democracy Corner “Issues Q&A” on Tuesday, October 2 at 5:30 pm. San Juan Democrats are hosts of the informational series. Rosenfeld, who is running for re-election, encouraged all San Juan Island residents to come and ask him questions in the informal setting.
Howie says: “I know people have concerns about several local issues, and this is a good opportunity to come and share those concerns with me. I would welcome questions about the CAO, ferry issues, economic development, the coal trains, the new hospital and women’s health issues, – and anything else they care to ask about.”
Rosenfeld, a former town fire chief, whale museum director and town council member, is a long time Friday Harbor shop owner and artist. He is married to Friday Harbor mayor, Carrie Lacher.
