Rick says “Thanks!”

Rich Hughes says “thanks”

Congratulations to Lisa Byers, Lovell Pratt and Bob Jarman for their recent primary victories. I look forward to seeing each of you over the next few months on the campaign trail.

I would like to thank supporters and friends who stepped up and voted for me in the primary. It is an honor to serve you on the current county council and I look forward to the opportunity to continue this service for the next four years.

It’s been my great privilege to meet many amazing people of this county over the past weeks and months and am eager to meet many more in the near future. If you see me at the market or the pharmacy or at my council office in the senior center, please stop and say hello, I really want to meet you and have a conversation.

Our county is at a tipping point and requires moderate, balanced leaders who will work hard for the interest of all of San Juan County. I’m concerned about the long-term prospect of living wage jobs; reliable and responsive care for our seniors; reasonable and affordable transportation options; clear, concise and appropriate regulation; and the prospect of locally controlled high-speed internet that exceeds mainland options.

Thank you again for your support.
