Lester has history of activism, stewardship | LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

I am writing to express my strong support for Debra Lester for KPUD commissioner.

Unlike two of her opponents, she has elective experience, and a distinguished history of civic activism and government service. She is endorsed by the Bainbridge Island mayor, the mayor of Poulsbo, and Leonard Forsman of the Suquamish Tribe, and was the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 Citizen of the Year.

I have worked with Debra on a number of community issues and am continually impressed with her work ethic, integrity, and commitment to constituent service. Our next KPUD representative should be looking for new ways to preserve and protect our water resources while keeping costs reasonable. Debra’s history of environmental stewardship and ratepayer advocacy make her a great fit for this position.

I will be voting for Debra on Aug. 2, and urge you to do the same!
