Editor,

I have known Shane Hoffmire and his family for over 20 years; Shane and his family have hearts of gold. He has displayed a kind heart and compassion for the people of Oak Harbor and beyond. As a proven community builder, he has taken his time to advocate for businesses who are unaware of policy and procedures, helping them to stay within the boundaries of their rights as business owners.

Shane has always made himself available. I have seen him out and about as a city council member, supporting members of the fire department, police department and local business community. We can also be proud of Shane for his hard work with the North Whidbey Pool, Park and Recreation District. His past efforts include volunteering time with working on complex maintenance issues in the reopening of our beloved pool. Thanks in large part to Shane’s efforts we can all enjoy the pool and swimming classes.

My family and I plan on voting Shane Hoffmire for mayor since he has demonstrated his excellence in leadership and productivity skills.
