Hale a longtime, dedicated volunteer

I cannot believe people can be so mean-spirited right here in Shoreline. The recent attacks on Patty Hale have been unfounded and unfortunate.

I have known Patty for over 15 years. Our girls grew up together in the Shoreline schools and Patty and I were heavily involved in our kids’ schools along with leading their Camp Fire group for over 10 years. During that time, Patty was also helping her Ridgecrest community with her many volunteer activities.

She has always been so committed to the city of Shoreline. She would often tell me how much she loved this area and she wanted to help make it a better place to live for everyone. Her dedication also extends to our students in Shoreline — not just as a teacher, but as a mom, PTA volunteer and long-time community activist. She has always stood up for our children here in Shoreline and has wanted the best for them.

Patty is one candidate who has lived and breathed Shoreline for the past 20 years. Can we say that for Will Hall? I don’t think so.
