Written by I enthusiastically endorse my colleague and friend Marcie Palmer in her bid for re-election to Renton City Council.
Marcie is an extraordinarily diligent and effective council member. She always does her homework, putting in long hours studying the issues and interviewing the community. She gathers input from citizens constantly, maintaining a meticulous understanding of the feelings and concerns of those who elected her.
Marcie is a problem solver. She is known for her ability to gather parties together and work though differences, often finding common ground that no one else believed could be found. As Chair of the City’s Transportation Committee, she is currently working hard on a number of transportation concerns including noise and development issues at the Renton Municipal Airport.
Marcie also represents us in regional transportation planning, to help make sure Renton gets a fair share of State and Federal transportation dollars. She is independent minded, and will not hesitate to vote against the status quo when she knows she is right…a most important quality for your elected officials.
She is a wise steward of tax dollars, and is concerned about those in need in our community. As a result, she works hard on council and in her volunteer projects to make sure everyone is taken care of.
With all this work, she still manages to spend lots of time with her family by including them in so many of her activities. Her talented photographer husband Gary accompanies her to many city functions, and keeps the City of Renton and Chamber of Commerce supplied with high quality photographs for their websites. And Marcie helps in her children’s classes, and brings them to city and volunteer events whenever she can.
I ask all my readers to vote for Marcie in November, and to join me in working hard to support her campaign.
