In November, Kitsap County voters will be asked to select a Kitsap County Commissioner. It is a very important decision and an important election.

I encourage Kitsap voters to choose Ed Wolfe for Kitsap County Commissioner. Not just because Ed is a smart, experienced, accomplished individual, not just because he is an independent thinker, a small business person, someone with ambassador and national level experience. Not just because he is a moderate Republican, fiscal conservative and supported by Democrats, Independents and Republicans alike…but because our county governance is lacking balance.

I am supporting Ed because I believe his election to the Kitsap County Commission will bring balance back to our county governance. I believe we need representation from all political influences. I believe we need a County Commissioner elected by the voters and not, once again, another political appointee.

I urge you to vote Ed Wolfe for your next Kitsap County Commissioner.
