John Works for You

I’m running for another term on the Bellevue City Council. As always, my campaign will be positive and focused on the future of this great city and its place in this remarkable region of innovation. The past four years has seen an unprecedented swing from boom to bust, but I still see the best days ahead for Bellevue.

Before asking for your support I have to say “THANK YOU” for the support you’ve given my family and I since the bear attack in September. The outpouring of love, support, and prayers has been overwhelming and it made my quick recovery possible. Lynn, Megan, and Morgan also send their sincere thanks for all you’ve done for us.

As I look toward another four years on the Council, so much is needed. We need a steady hand to guide light rail through our city. We need courage to re-launch our city’s economic growth. We need to keep our commitments to the voters on our parks levy projects. We need a conscience to guide our investments in human services that lift people up. And we need to protect the safety of our residents.

Over the next four years, I will continue to focus on the three E’s, economy, environment, and education. The city will invest wisely in projects that help economic recovery. Our city’s natural and built environment will be maintained and enhanced. And we will work with our schools to provide the best educational experience possible.

My personal experience the last few months has helped me focus on the things that are important, family, faith, and community. It should come as no surprise; I’m bullish, not bearish, on the future of this great city.
