Attending a Port Commissioner candidates forum

This morning after our Son-Shine Fellowship breakfast, I stopped in at the Cloverleaf Bar and Grill where there was a forum for the candidates for Port Commissioner. I was late for the event, so I sat in the back and made a sketch of the two candidates seated at a table answering the questions given by the moderator.

The weekly breakfast forum, called "Eggs and Issues", is sponsored by the Bremerton Area Chamber of Commerce The two candidates are Roger Zabinski and Lynn Horton. Roger is a parishioner at St. Antony's.

As a clergyperson, I'm not able to endorse one political candidate over another without endangering our tax-exempt status, but I went to the forum to encourage Roger personally. One thing I learned at this debate: I'm glad I'm not in politics! I think I would wilt under the pressure of rapid-fire questions and intense political opinions. I'm just grateful there are people willing to put themselves forward for these positions.
