As a current member of the Snohomish County Council, a lifelong resident of this county and one who has also run a small business and served in the Legislature, I am keenly interested in this year’s race for Snohomish County executive. That’s why I’m an enthusiastic supporter of Betty Neighbors for Snohomish County executive.
We all know that Snohomish County is growing by leaps and bounds and we’ve had our growing pains. In recent times, we’ve led the state in job losses and methamphetamine production. Betty’s first priorities are to get our people back to work and to shut down the meth labs that plague our neighborhoods. We’re going to need Betty’s strong leadership skills as we plan for tomorrow and the next generation.
Betty is a homegrown success story. She was raised on a farm near Lake Stevens. She and her husband Steve raised their three children here as well. Twenty years ago, Betty started a small business that grew into an award winning industry leader that places thousands of Snohomish County residents in jobs each year. Now she is ready to bring her extraordinary talents to the tough job of county executive.
Betty Neighbors is not another career politician. Instead, she’s the best kind of candidate – a concerned citizen with the ability and desire to truly make a difference. She has the intelligence to understand the complexities of the countless issues that an executive must act on, and the integrity to carry out those duties with the same wisdom and foresight that has brought her great success in her business and personal life.
Your yes vote for Betty Neighbors for county executive is a vote for the best possible future for Snohomish County.
