— from Rich Peterson, Former Council Member, Second District —

The years I was privileged to serve as a San Juan County Council Member offered many opportunities to watch excellent employees conduct the business of running local government. Rhonda Pederson stood out among our best.

Rhonda hopes to serve as your next Treasurer and I wholeheartedly support her candidacy. Rhonda has all of the qualities and experience that will combine to make her an excellent Treasurer. Her 14 years in working for SJC include a variety of jobs that prepare her for the position she seeks and emphasize the customer service for which she is well-known. Having had successful promotions throughout her career, Rhonda is now Chief Accountant. She is very well-positioned to make a smooth transition to Treasurer.

I hope you will join me in voting for Rhonda Pederson. She will do an outstanding job in representing County residents and is ready to take on the responsibilities of San Juan County Treasurer.
