LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Naked appreciation for write-in election coverage

Editor, This is a letter to Reporter Jessie Stensland: Thank you for introducing me to my public and securing me my 15 minutes of fame, or is it notoriety? Too bad all the write-ins didn’t pal up, one of us could have been a contender

Editor,

This is a letter to Reporter Jessie Stensland:

Thank you for introducing me to my public and securing me my 15 minutes of fame, or is it notoriety? Too bad all the write-ins didn’t pal up, one of us could have been a contender.

Does the sheriff have to run every two years? Maybe we will meet again.

DAVE OLINGER

Oak Harbor

[Editor’s note: Dave Olinger was a write-in candidate for Island County Sheriff in the August primary election. A story about his candidacy in the South Whidbey Record, particularly a portrait of him holding a rifle with no shirt, made headlines in media outlets across the country].
