To the Editor:
We proudly endorse Katherine Bryant Ingman for San Juan County Council District 3 this November. Katherine has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to our island communities through her work in healthcare, food security, ferry advocacy and countless volunteer efforts. For example, as president of the Catherine Washburn Medical Association, she helped make sure Lopez Island didn’t lose access to healthcare when the clinic changed hands to Sea Mar Community Health Centers. She is an exceptional listener who brings people together, approaches challenges thoughtfully and follows through on her commitments. We’re excited to see Katherine use these skills to improve programs and services in our county.
Katherine’s professional experience, enthusiasm and dedication to serving others make her uniquely qualified to serve on the council. She understands the issues that matter most to island residents and has already spent years working to address them.
She’ll bring energy, integrity and steady judgment to the county council. We’re proud to support her, and we hope you’ll join us on Election Day.
