||| FROM ADRIAN KILPATRICK |||
My name is Adrian Kilpatrick and I was a recent candidate running for a seat on the San Juan County Council. I am writing out to endorse Rick Hughes for San Juan County Council district 2.
Over my candidacy and leading up to the current election I’ve gotten to spend a significant time getting to know Rick on a personal level and learning about his underlying political agenda. What I’ve discovered is that Rick cares very deeply about these islands that we all call home. His overall time spent in the political field and his experience in leadership positions have helped him develop an ability to create and influence clarity in a field that can, at times, be pure chaos .
Throughout his previous tenure on the San Juan County Council Rick has shown his ability to keep complicated topics grounded and find a way to act upon policies that benefit San Juan County residents as a whole. In my conversations with Rick I have noticed that he is a competent listener, that takes the time to hear you out on all matters of complexity and in response provide thoughtful guidance that is based on years of learned experience.
I believe Rick has the shared interests of our island communities at the forefront of his mind, and will work hard to push forward those interests in order to create lasting changes that help continue the overall success of current and future generations of islanders.

I support Rick because he listens, and then, in contrast to others generally, he acts.
This is a rare combination, politics being so often the art of blandishment followed by inaction on things that matter.
Vote for Rick Hughes if you want effective leadership by one who deeply cares about our county.
