I have known and respected Monica Mick-Hager, candidate for city council, over the many years each of us has lived and worked in Port Townsend. Over that time Monica has been a consistent public servant, devoting much of her free time to her community in both the governmental sphere, as well as other non-governmental organizations that she has voluntarily chosen to support. There is no question in my mind that she has been a treasured public citizen working for what is best in our city and beloved hometown.

She now seeks to continue that service as a member of our citizen government, the Port Townsend City Council. For those residents who many not know her, or be aware of her history of contribution to the betterment of our community, I both urge and advise that you consider her with your vote this November.

In my humble opinion you will be making a solid choice. Whatever one’s politics or positions on an issue may be, in the end honesty, trust and integrity will continue to serve us all. And Monica has that in spades. Please consider her candidacy as a citizen representative for Port Townsend in this year’s election. She will serve her community with energy and skill, as she has continued to do for such a long time. Thank you.
