Our candidates

Hello Constituents of Orcas Island and Island Visitors
I have been asked to moderate discussions between the 2013 candidates for Honorary Mayor of Eastsound. Until the election concludes July 6th, the candidates will respond to our questions, elaborate on their platforms and help you make informed decisions when voting for Mayor.

Before this campaign is over, I will endorse one of the five candidates and assign my votes to them.

Meanwhile, thanks for all your support. And remember, your votes benefit the Toddler and Preschool students of Children’s House! Vote early. Vote often. Vote online or at any of polling boxes in local businesses.

The Honorable Mayor Murphy
