Hello, my name is Rick Hughes, and I live on Orcas Island. My wife and I operate Ray’s General Store and Pharmacy, Con’s Pit Stop and Island Life on Orcas and I served for eight years as the San Juan County Council member from district #2, Orcas and Waldron Islands. I have known Sheriff Krebs for over a decade, consider him a good friend and was a great partner in operating San Juan County for the 6 years we served together as elected officials.

Ron is approachable, honest, honorable and a good person. He has served our community well, hired excellent deputies, dispatch and civil staff and has not asked for additional funding to keep the county safe.

Ron is the right person for the sheriff job and will continue to be the solid Sheriff that we need, he will continue to serve all of the community, and encourage his staff to find balanced approach to community law enforcement.

He has my full support! Please join me and vote for Ron Krebs, San Juan County Sheriff.
