Island County Pledge

Five islanders from business, government, nonprofits, and advocacy groups came together to create this pledge. We – Andrea Downs, Belinda Griswold, Krista Kennedy Horstman, Elise Miller, and Katie Shapiro – worked with many friends and colleagues across Island County to bring the pledge forward to the wider community. 

Together, we seek a nonpartisan way to find common ground at this pivotal time in our country’s history realizing that none of us has the privilege of riding this one out — what’s happening touches everyone. 

We drafted this pledge to: 

• Serve as a community resource for everyone — a reminder of our collective core values regardless of political leanings. 

• Identify who else is committed to safeguarding our democracy, so we can connect and rely on each other if times get tougher. 

• Bolster collaboration and constructive conversation with people across the political spectrum.
