Editor,

Now that the November 2014 election results have been certified, I want to officially thank the voters of Island County for electing me to the office of Island County treasurer.

I will do my best to maintain your trust and respect in this important office of our local government.

The efforts of many people are responsible for this win. I appreciate those who gave me advice, contributions, sign locations, labor, endorsements, and the constant support and motivation necessary for any candidate involved in an election. I could not have succeeded without your assistance and faith, and I will not forget what you offered to me.

For everyone in Island County who is glad to see the campaign signs down and to read no more letters to the editor about election issues, thank you for your patience and understanding during the past six months. I look forward to serving you at Island County.

WANDA GRONE
