Hello San Juan County Democrats,

At our Aug. 27 meeting, we voted on endorsements for the fall election.  Here is our list:

Senator – Patty Murray                     

Congress – Rick Larsen

Secretary of State – Steve Hobbs

State Rep #1 – Debra Lekanoff                       

State Rep#2 – Alex Ramel  

Sheriff – Ron Krebs and Eric Peter – Dual Endorsement

Prosecuting Attorney – Amy Vira

Prop 1 Road Levy Lift – Yes   

Prop 1 – SJI Library Bond (SJI only) – Yes

Prop 1 – Lopez Solid Waste Levy (Lopez only) – Yes

CRC #1 Citizen Advocate – No position     

CRC #2 County Support for CRC – Yes

CRC #3 Ranked Choice Voting – Yes            

CRC #4 Signature decrease on Initiatives, Referenda – Yes

Thanks to Dick Grout, who will be working on the postcard, and those of you who have donated to us, we will be sending out a postcard with these endorsements.

There are many other offices to vote on in the election, but we did not feel it necessary to endorse in races where there is only one candidate other than prosecuting attorney.  Also, you will notice that we awarded a dual endorsement for sheriff.  Both the incumbent and the challenger are strong candidates, so it will be up to you to do a little research and decide on whom to vote for.

Thanks for reading,
