LETTER: Candidate Stoffer has served community, nation

When I think of Jim Stoffer, I think of a word, service.

Service to our country.

Stoffer served 31 years on active duty in the U.S. Coast Guard.

Service to our community.

He has volunteered countless hours supporting Sequim’s activities.

He has been involved with the Sequim Chamber of Commerce, Boys and Girls Club, Irrigation Festival, Food Bank and was past president for Citizens for Sequim Schools, to name a few.

Service to our schools.

Stoffer has been a Sequim School Board member since 2015, and has served as legislative representative and been a member of the state School Directors Association Legislative Committee.

This experience has given him a broad knowledge of the intricacies of what it takes to ensure a quality education for our future citizens.

His ability to work for our schools all the way from the state legislature to local administrators, teachers and students makes his years of experience so valuable to us.

I urge voters to support and re-elect Jim Stoffer so he can continue his service on the Sequim School Board.

Lee Chatfield,

Sequim
