I am running for Freeholder because
I believe that elected officials should be directly accountable to the
voters. It is time to craft a city government that is more responsive to the
needs of citizens. I graduated from
the University of Puget Sound, and served as an officer in the Marine Corps during
the Vietnam War. A
Bellevue resident for 25 years, I work for Boeing, have a master’s degree
in business administration, and
am a member of the Bridle Trails Community Club. I am a Council Member for the
Society of Professional
Engineering Employees in Aerospace, serve on the Executive Council of my church,
and have experience
as a precinct committeeman.
Becoming a charter city is an important step toward holding our policy makers
accountable for ensuring
that Bellevue is a city where we want to live and work. I ask for your vote
on May 20th.

I was raised on the Eastside
and have lived in Bellevue for 14 years. I have seen Bellevue become an
impressive city with an outstanding quality of life thanks to committed leaders
and dedicated volunteers.
I’m running for freeholder in order to help continue the tradition
of leadership, fairness and accountability
that has made Bellevue a great city.
My job requires me to interact with city governments throughout the region.
Successful cities have
governance structures that foster consensus rather than division, and policies
that encourage the common
good over the interests of the few. They are the same principles that I
share with the young people that
I teach in Sunday school. Our city government must continue to be efficiently
managed, accessible to all
of us and nimble enough to respond to both the opportunities and the challenges
that lie ahead.
