To the editor:

It is encouraging to have the opportunity to recommend someone as ethical and hardworking as Kol Medina for Bainbridge Island City Council.

We truly believe his commitment to improving the lives of all of us on this island and his dedication to preserving our environment are not mere political statements, but are born out of a fierce determination to help our community into the future.

Tip O’Neill, former Speaker of the House, once famously said that “all politics is local”. Governance at the Bainbridge Island City Council level is just as important as governance at the national level. Please vote for Kol Medina for city council.
