Excellent prosecutor deserves re-election

Greg Banks, the current Island County prosecutor, deserves your vote. If it weren’t for Greg Banks, criminals in Island County would get away with murder. My father was murdered in 1997 and the former prosecutor refused to prosecute the woman who did it.

When Greg Banks took office in 1999, he re-opened the case at my family’s request. Mr. Banks and his office proved that they are the kind of public servants that we expect our hard-earned dollars to pay for. Banks prosecuted the woman who murdered my father; she was convicted after a long and difficult jury trial. Greg and his staff always treated us with compassion and respect. I also know from talking with the police involved that Mr. Banks worked very closely with them to make the case better. Every cop I talked to in that case had nothing but praise for Greg Banks.
