Oncology Specialty Sales Representative for Abbott
Education:
Masters of Business Administration from City University of Seattle
Statement:
I have a simple plan to bring back the spirit of the waterland. First, we must improve the public safety and public image of the city. As an 8 year resident of Des Moines, I have been forced to contend with increasing drug related crime in my neighborhood. The only way to improve the safety and well being of our neighborhoods is to hire more police officers and place more emphasis on community awareness.
Secondly, we must improve zoning restrictions near Marine View Drive in order to encourage new development. Lastly, the city needs to reduce frivolous expenditures and reallocate funding towards activities that will improve quality of life and attract new businesses to our community.
As your new council representative I will fight all of these issues and represent the best interest of our community. I will not stand by and watch our city deteriorate and neither should you!

Statement:
I am a forty year resident of Des Moines, an experienced elected and have a history of bringing community and government together to solve challenging issues. My background is in Business, Finance and Technology.
As a city councilmember, I will give priority to key government services ensuring community safety and stability. Additionally, my focus will be on the city’s revitalization and redevelopment. I will partner with citizens, community groups and businesses, to understand their concerns and communicate their input during the decision making process. We must move forward together in a way that will improve the city’s business climate while being sensitive to the needs and desires of its citizens.
I am proud to call Des Moines my home. I look forward to working together to redevelop and revitalize this wonderful waterfront city.
It is an honor to seek to represent you on the city council. My name is John Burdine and I am a middle school teacher with Highline Schools and also work part time at Wesley Homes.
Previously I was in business in Ocean Beach, California. I served as President of the merchant’s association and was Vice President of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. We developed several promotional projects to make the community sparkle.
With children at home and as a teacher I am interested in expanding the services to our youth that Des Moines can provide.
Working at Wesley Homes shows me the vital role that seniors play in our area.
As your representative I would emphasize a sustainable budget and tax policies that are fair to all, while seeking to promote a vibrant community.
