They Said It
I have seen Shane prioritize transparency during his time as a Oak Harbor Councilmember and serving as a North Whidbey Pool, Parks and Recreation District Commissioner. He believes transparency is vital to building trust between the city and its residents. This is seen not only through his words but through his actions. While serving on the city council, he ensures that information is available and accessible to the public, encourages open and productive feedback, and prioritizes ensuring that all decisions he makes are in the community’s best interest.
