We need Candy McCullough’s depth of experience and dedication to represent us on our fire commission. She gives us the benefit of decades of volunteering for our own fire department, decades of experience as a professional firefighter, as well as her demonstrated effectiveness as a current member of our fire commission. She has devoted tremendous effort to learning the rather complex legal requirements of advocating for our community with VIFR; in fact is currently president of the National Association of Elected Fire Officials. As a long-time island physician, I can vouch for the importance of VIFR and of the fire commission. We are lucky to have someone with her level of experience to represent us. We need her.

I urge islanders to vote for Candy McCullough for fire commissioner.
