County Council, Dist. 5: Low works to keep taxes low

Sam Low has proven himself as a responsible public servant on the Snohomish County Council, District 5. He is a consistent champion of effective policing. He fights budget bloat, and works with other council members to achieve cost-effective solutions to county needs. The county saved millions by remodeling the courthouse and scrapping plans to totally replace it, a joint effort by Sam and Nate Nehring. As a result, our tax rates have remained stable.

He respects the limits to his authority, and listens to constituent input. My wife and I are proud to support Sam for a second term. He deserves your votes, too.
