In regard to the upcoming election for Snohomish County Executive, I want to add my own two cents.
I know a lot of very nice people. I know a lot of very smart people. But that doesn’t mean that these nice and smart people I know can do the job of running Snohomish County as executive.
I am voting for Dave Somers because not only is he nice and smart, he has worked as our County Council representative for almost 16 years, knows a lot about how the county operates, the people who work there and the complexities of budgets and working with different businesses, the tribes, and us … the people who live here and want our county to continue to be a great place to live.
With prosperity comes growth … apparently. I want Dave Somers leading the way because he has voted consistently to better protect our water quality, farms and forests, salmon and wildlife, plus will work to also provide new opportunities for jobs and to help keep our communities safe from crime and fire.
Most importantly, he is well-respected and trusted by many people, businesses and organizations throughout Snohomish County, the region and state, and has an excellent record of working collaboratively and openly and getting things accomplished.
Please join me and vote for Dave Somers for Snohomish County Executive.
