I served as an Everett port commissioner for 16 years. Bruce Fingarson is the candidate who listens, thinks and then gives you an answer that makes sense.
Issues the Port of Everett deals with daily have significant financial impact on Everett and Mukilteo, plus the livelihoods of employees and all the industries and businesses that rely on the port.
We all know the importance of the port to Boeing. Don’t forget all the wind blades used to build wind farms for alternative energy; all the military and other oversized equipment that comes through Everett. The Port has added dry docks for ship repair to support the Navy base, our second largest employer. The port runs the second largest marina on the West Coast and builds more of walking and biking trails for public use.
We need a port commissioner with experience talking and working with the community, business leaders, unions, international companies and the port itself. Bruce has worked effectively with these groups the last two years. That’s why he has strong support from unions, business and corporate leaders, past port commissioners and the public.
Bruce works effectively with groups of people with different objectives and views by listening to all sides, asking questions, then looking at the issues and making a decision based on the overall interests of all. Bruce brings out facts and figures to support his positions.
Bruce has my vote and support
