The people of Everett have a long-standing reputation as being hard-working, gritty and no-nonsense. That’s why I love living here. That’s why I fit in. That’s why I love my neighbors. And that’s also exactly why people should be concerned about the recent Herald article exposing the alarming amount of special interest money that has poured in to support a candidate running for City Council, Position 6 (“Bader ‘surprised’ by $38K in campaign cash from Master Builders,” The Herald, Sept. 2). This candidate’s appalling acceptance of contributions from special interests raises serious concerns about potential conflicts of interest and true motivations behind their candidacy. Everett voters deserve a councilmember who is committed to the betterment of our community, not beholden to special interests.
Demi Chatters is the hard-working, gritty and no-nonsense candidate that deserves your vote for Everett City Council. Her tenure as chair of the city of Everett’s planning commission has clearly showcased her dedication to ensuring that the city’s growth thoughtfully addresses housing affordability, public safety and livability of every neighborhood in the city. Her opponent’s questionable campaign donations from special interest housing developers and past votes on council do not exhibit this same commitment.
As Everett voters, we deserve to know that our elected officials have your interests at heart, and Chatters has consistently demonstrated this commitment. She represents a fresh start for Everett. Let’s choose a candidate who prioritizes working families, public safety and accountability.
Vote Demi Chatters for Everett City Council.
