I hope you will join me in voting for Brian Ehrmantraut for fire commissioner (#2).

While I am not 100% up to speed on all things “fire department” – I do know Brian. He is thoughtful, intelligent, calm, and honest. These are the essential traits for any board – they are especially critical for boards facing complex issues. Brian also has a keen grasp on the technical issues of finance and budgeting.

Brian is committed to the well-being of the fire department, not only to its personnel and volunteers, but for the community at large. Through transparency and honorable action, Brian will help foster a healthier fire department that will serve the needs of Orcas for many years to come. Please cast your vote for Brian Ehrmantraut.
