05/11/2009: "Running For Mayor Of FH"

Robert Low, San Juan County Fire Marshall, his announced he is in the race to be the next Mayor of Friday Harbor. His press release follows: I’m running for Mayor because I love this community. Since age 5, I have been coming to the Town of Friday Harbor on vacations and holidays at my grandparents home. I have watched the town change from a sleepy fishing village to the community we see today.

I have been a full time resident of San Juan Island for over 20 years and have been a resident of Friday Harbor for 13 years.

I believe that it is my duty as a citizen of our community to serve and help make this a better place to live. I have served the community as Town of Friday Harbor volunteer firefighter and have served as its Fire Chief.

I am an elected member of the board of directors of the Inter Island Medical Center and currently volunteer as an EMT with San Juan EMS.

I am currently employed as San Juan County Fire Marshal. I am also currently President of the Chiefs Association and President of the Region Three Task Force.

I know that I have the skills needed to lead the Town through many tough decisions that need to be made and at the same time bring in fresh ideas to make our town a better place to live.
