— from Cindy Carter —

Early Wednesday morning, campaign signs of candidates currently actively campaigning were vandalized by those bringing hate to the island.

Timothy Hazelo, Kim Wyman, Loren Culp and Joshua Freed are all candidates currently in a campaign and will be having signs all over the 2nd Congressional District. Hazelo, Wyman and Culp made the top two for their various races, and Joshua Freed has announced his plans to run as a write in candidate for Lt. Governor. Campaign signs have also been vandalized on San Juan Island and Lopez Island.

Previously on Orcas Island, political signs had been removed from
locations. After being reported to the police for theft, this activity
stopped. The current activity has also been reported to the sheriff’s
office. Hate has no place in these islands. We hope that this will not
be a recurring event.
