"John has proven experience to work with leaders outside Redmond to solve problems affecting people inside Redmond. Issues like transportation, land use, and the environment require collaboration and John will bring that skill to Redmond." Larry Springer State Representative "John has the ability to bring people together to get things done. That's what leaders do. He will be a great mayor." Grant Degginger "John's real world experience leading people and managing large budgets means he can hit the ground running." Richard Cole We like Marchione's sharper view of budgeting - and the council majority's commitment to a priorities-of-government approach that gives a responsible nod to the proper role of government in a city with escalating home values and taxes."
