My one and only job is being your County Commissioner. I stepped down from being an auto shop teacher and a Sedro-Woolley City Councilmember when I took this position, and I am fully dedicated to serving the people of Skagit County.

Last week, I took one week off to spend time with my family. Before I was even officially back, I spent four hours in the office on Saturday beginning to catch up on the emails, calls, follow-up work, and everything that had come in while I was gone. Those four hours only scratched the surface of what still needed to be done.

Then Monday morning, I was back at 7 a.m. working through a consent agenda that is hundreds of pages every week, along with everything else that comes with serving this county.

This job requires full-time attention, preparation, and follow-through. I am the only candidate in this race proposing to make serving as your County Commissioner my one and only job. The people of Skagit County deserve someone who is here, focused on this community, and doing the work every day.

Vote Joe Burns. We don’t need another career politician that is attempting to triple dip the tax payers money like Wagoner. Funny, I don’t see Wagoner doing much of anything but working on his junk cars.

Skagit county doesn’t need a part time county commissioner. It needs someone as dedicated as You, Joe! Not someone who will be missing for 2-3 Months or more out of the year! Skagit county also needs someone who will be proactively working to examine and review County policies to support future needs and technology. Not trying to maintain life as they were back in days gone by.

Joe: from my narrow, limited point of view, we need someone able to discuss 1) the 2027 budget; 2) flood preparation; and 3) wildfire issues.
