Sam Low a leader in mold of Somers, Drewel

Maybe it is time for the politicians in Washington, D.C. and Olympia to do a case study of Snohomish County government to see how efficiently government can work.

Snohomish County District 5 was represented by Dave Somers, now county executive, for many years. He did a great job for his constituents and all the residents of the county. He has shown the Bob Drewel style of governing by working with all council members for our benefit.

District 5 is now represented by Sam Low, Republican, who is governing by working with all council members for the benefit of all the people of Snohomish County. Sam considers both sides of the issues and does his research before taking votes.

Sam was instrumental in working to refit the current courthouse rather than build a new one. This saved the taxpayers 100 to 150M dollars. Sam has also been a strong voice in working with legislators on traffic issues affecting Snohomish County. With his leadership skills, we are in good hands. I am confident that he will be on top of all issues from land use, homelessness and working with the people to solve the devastating drug related issues in Snohomish County.

Our choice for District 5 is an easy one – Vote for Sam Low and keep the good momentum going on the Snohomish County Council. Sam has my vote! He is asking for yours.
