We are members of, and leaders within, our beloved Whidbey and Camano Island communities. We represent varied sectors that contribute to the health and well-being of Island County: business, government, agriculture, healthcare, nonprofits, legal, faith, family services, education, and more. We are young families, mid-career professionals, veterans, retirees, and students. 

We are united in sharing a positive vision for our community, state, and country.

At this time of profound economic, social, and political challenge, we are called to stand together to safeguard our democracy, for our own sake and for future generations. We recognize our dependence on one another as community members, and our shared responsibility to honor each others’ humanity. 

We pledge to: 

• Uphold the human and constitutional rights of all, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance;

• Defend and strengthen the principles of our participatory democracy at every level of government; 

• Affirm there is no place for political violence or intimidation in any form in our community;

• Connect with each other across differences to stand for our shared values: inclusive democracy, collective prosperity, and mutual support.

By standing true to these commitments, we will build a more peaceful, just, and thriving community for ourselves, for each other, and for generations to come. Please join us.
