More young people, like Nate Nehring, needed in office

It’s truly refreshing to see a young person finally serving in local government! Our County Councilman Nate Nehring has brought great energy and a fresh perspective to the issues facing our county. It is about time that we get more young people involved as they are the future.

After several conversations with Nate, I am convinced that he is the best possible candidate for the Snohomish County Council. What particularly stands out about Nate Nehring is his ability to reason logically. He is interested in truth and the highest common good. He also has more problem-solving experience than all the other candidates. Nate served as the vice chair of the planning commission in Stanwood while he was a teacher and coach in the Marysville School District. He also served on over a dozen boards and committees throughout our county. Nate Nehring is an inspiration to people of all ages and I believe it is critical that we work to retain him on the Snohomish County Council. I encourage you to join me in voting for Nate.
