Mauri Moore, a former journalist and international correspondent, has announced her candidacy for Edmonds City Council.
In her 30-year career, Moore, 52, said she has covered major news events throughout the United States, and overseas in the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Europe. She has also reported on government affairs at every level from municipal courts to national elections. She has managed large budgets, created alliances and partnerships and negotiated labor contracts as a news manager, she said.
She is a past member of the Woodway Town Council, and has served on the boards of Edmonds Public Education Foundation, The Northwest Center and the Chapman Community Forum.
“I will bring a wholly different perspective to the Council,” she said. “I will translate my personal and professional experience into common sense public service and will serve as an effective voice for our families.
“Edmonds’ biggest challenge now is financial stability, and we need creative ways to generate non-tax revenues and tap into the abundant talent in our own community. The council, itself, needs to function efficiently. I look forward to making a tireless commitment to this effort.”
Moore is active in various community non-profit projects and public school volunteer programs. She and her husband, Mark Shuler, share three children; a son in the Marine Corps, a daughter in the Peace Corps and an eighth-grade son in College Place Middle School.
Moore is endorsed by Edmonds City Council president Dave Earling, who will leave his seat to run for Snohomish County executive. She also lists endorsements from state Sen. Paull Shin, D-Mukilteo; state Rep. Brian Sullivan, D-Mukilteo, state Rep. Mike Cooper, D-Edmonds; City Council member Jeff Wilson; former state senator Jeannette Wood and former state representative Renee Radcliff.
