LETTER: Brotherton has commitment required for PUD

I have watched the politics of Jefferson County for almost 20 years.

To me it has always been a series of silos: PUD commissioners, county commissioners, port commissioners, Port Townsend council — all doing their own thing without consulting with the other agencies to see if there could be some synergy to their efforts.

I have been listening to PUD commission candidate Tom Brotherton and see a ray of light in someone who understands that, together, the county could be stronger with better results for all.

I very much appreciate Brotherton’s education, intelligence and broad background in engineering and entrepreneurship.

But his commitment to the community — he was a Heart of Service award winner — is what tells me he is the person for the job.

Please vote for Tom Brotherton for PUD commissioner, District 3.

Melinda Bryden,

Port Townsend
