"I have known Kim Allen since she joined Redmond’s Planning Commission in 2002 and we have served together on the Redmond City Council for the last 4 years. I have watched Kim quickly learn her way around the issues in the areas of transportation, planning, growth management and environmental stewardship and we have gone together to carry Redmond’s needs and concerns to our state legislators, many of whom have endorsed Kim’s reelection—as have I. Kim and I represent Redmond’s interests in transportation as voting members of Eastside Transportation Partnership where we have worked to secure more buses and transit for Redmond. She has promoted Council’s presence in the community and I look forward to working with her as Council lead as we rewrite Redmond’s zoning code. Her background and connections to the Redmond community give her an understanding of our city’s interests and have made her an effective Councilmember for Redmond. That’s why I am supporting her campaign for the chance to serve another 4 years."

Good endorsement. The alternative is a choice for absolutely no experience and no proven leadership ability. If Kim's opponent is serious about helping Redmond, she should help herself become prepared by actually serving in Redmond first, through one of the many openings that Bob's pointed out before. Either that or she should gain some practical real-world experience that will demonstrate to the voting public that she brings something to the table besides emotionless platitudes and empty feel-good sound bites.
ReplyDeleteI have tremendous respect for Council President Nancy McCormick, who has demonstrated many years of service in Redmond city government. When Ms. McCormick endorses Kim Allen, she does so with enormous credibility.
