PENINSULA GATEWAY LETTER TO THE EDITOR September 30, 2015
GIG HARBOR LIFE LETTER TO THE EDITOR October 2, 2015
To the Editor:
As the current County Council member for District 7, representing Gig Harbor at the county level, and as the two former County Council members for District 7, all three of us have worked closely with Michael Perrow. We knew him as a Gig Harbor Parks Commissioner advocating for public open space and, now, know him as a leader on the City Council.
Gig Harbor is a place that is dear to all three of us. Collectively, we have represented Gig Harbor at the county level for the past 14 years. All three of us have heard from many Gig Harbor citizens on local issues related to public safety, the local economy, parks, pedestrian safety, controlled growth and traffic. We have listened and understood your hopes and concerns.
For this reason, we encourage the voters of Gig Harbor to re-elect Michael Perrow to Gig Harbor City Council, Position No. 6. We have had the privilege of working with Michael on important Gig Harbor issues such as the Cushman Trail extension, traffic congestion relief on State Route 16 and 302 and the Downtown Trolley system, to name a few.
In all of these issues, we know Michael to be a passionate advocate for all of you, the citizens of Gig Harbor. As a father of young children, and as someone who grew up here, Michael is committed to sustaining our family-friendly city.
We are one Democrat and two Republicans. Two of us opposed each other in the most recent county election. Yet, here we are, clear in our endorsement of Michael Perrow. His service to the community is exemplary and deserves your vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Join us and hundreds of your Gig Harbor neighbors in re-electing Michael Perrow to City Council, Position No. 6.
DEREK YOUNG, Pierce County Council - District 7
STAN FLEMMING, former Pierce County Council - District 7 (2011-2014)
TERRY LEE, former Pierce County Council - District 7 (2003-2010)
