The Mayor’s Race is a yearly tradition on Orcas Island to elect the best animal to preside over our island through the coming year, and more importantly, to raise money for the Orcas Island Children’s House, an early learning 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Fundraisers like the Mayor’s Race help us keep tuition affordable for all families on the island.
This year a diverse field of seven candidates are running in the Eastsound Mayor’s Race, which goes from June 5 – July 3. A lizard wizard, a dog being campaigned with her puppy pics, a Hollywood celebrity, a shy bunny, a dog named after another species, a ginormous cuddler, and a tiny cuddler; are all vying to be top dog (or bunny or lizard) of Orcas.
Who should be our mayor? You decide! Learn more about the candidates, including watching the candidates answer hard-hitting questions at the Mayoral Debate, by visiting the Eastsound Mayor’s website at https://orcasmayor.org/. Then, once you have decided who should rule by paw, tooth or claw; vote, vote, vote and make sure your preferred candidate takes the top spot and leads Orcas through the coming year!
Vote Early! Vote Often! And then Vote Again!
All proceeds go to support the Orcas Island Children’s House, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
