Written by Election filing week just concluded, and three Renton City Council seats are being contested.
Incumbent Greg Taylor is being challenged by Sarah Sanoy-Wright and incumbent Don Persson is being challenged by Phyllis Forrester.
Three candidates are running for the seat vacated by King Parker; Ed Prince, Mark Martinez, and Robin Jones.
Incumbent Councilmember Marcie Palmer and incumbent Mayor Denis Law will be running unopposed.
I’m not running this year, as I was re-elected two years ago for a four year term along with my colleagues Terri Briere and Rich Zwicker. But I will still be very involved in this election, as I am serving as Don Persson’s Campaign Manager (Click here to read more.)

Re: One question for the candidates
The 11th District Democrats are eating their own young – they’re not happy with Ed that’s for sure and made sure to put one of their own in the race.
Out with the old, in with the new. Sorry Randy, but government does need constant cycling of those from the outside in to keep the gene pool fresh.
Why is it so hard to see the other posts?
