My husband and I had the opportunity to host Snohomish County Council candidate Tara Schumacher in our home to meet our neighbors earlier this summer and came away very impressed.
Her intelligence, commitment and passion as a first-time candidate is impressive. Tara has never run for office. She was motivated to run for because she is rightly concerned that our polarized political environment is keeping good people out of public service. She is a bridge builder, and a person who looks for solutions.
Tara is committed to bringing everyone to the table — citizens, developers, environmentalists, politicians and businesspeople — so we can find the best solutions. Tara’s own experience living in the Maltby area for 19 years has given her insight into the problems residents of unincorporated parts of the county face. We need inclusive conversations about growth, not special interest money.
Tara has our support because we know she will listen respectfully to all points of view. Moreover, she has been endorsed by a wide variety of individuals and organizations, including Joan E. Miller, former fir commissioner District 1; state Sen. Guy Palumbo; the Snohomish County Democrats and Young Democrats; and the Teamsters Joint Council 28. She would be an excellent addition to the council.
