Oak Harbor Mayor Bob Severns wrote a letter to the editor endorsing Ronnie Wright for Mayor of Oak Harbor. The letter was published in the Sat., Oct. 14, 2023 edition of the Whidbey News-Times.

They Said It

When I decided not to run for re-election for Oak Harbor mayor, I thought it would be best not to endorse a candidate for this job. I feel differently now for a few reasons. First and foremost is the difference in experience….

Ronnie Wright has extensive experience making decisions about people. He has experience with large organizations, including our federal government down to his experience owning and managing his own successful local company.

This local experience is proof that Ronnie understands the importance of working together and supporting other organizations to gain something better for all involved in our city.
