Editor:
I am writing this letter in
support of re-electing Joan White as our County Clerk. I have been an attorney
in active private practice in San Juan County since 1980 and first met Joan in 1991 when she was working for John Linde before he assumed the bench as
our first Superior Court judge. As a
trial attorney, I continued to work closely with Joan when she became a deputy
clerk in 1993, and then when she was elected as the County Clerk in 2007 and
again in 2011.
Joan handles her job with skill
and competently juggles the many aspects of her position, which vary from
processing passport applications to maintaining the court filings. She is thorough, diligent, and dedicated. Our county is well-served by Joan and we
should retain her as our County Clerk for another four years. There is no substitute for her experience.
Sincerely,
Carla J. Higginson
Friday Harbor, WA
