"Mayoral support for City Council candidate"
PENINSULA GATEWAY LETTER TO THE EDITORY | September 9, 2015
GIG HARBOR LIFE LETTER TO THE EDITOR | September 11, 2015
To the Editor:
We write today as a special group who have had the privilege of serving the citizens of Gig harbor as Mayor; four of us as past Mayors, and one as current Mayor. Together, we have served the citizens of Gig Harbor for more than 38 years. In those years we have learned a thing or two about Gig Harbor and you, the citizens. Some of us ran against each other and — at times — we have disagreed with one another, but today we speak with one voice.
In this year’s election for City Council Position No. 6, there is a clear and obvious choice. Michael Perrow is our proud choice to serve a second term as City Council member. Michael has demonstrated balance, competence and wisdom beyond his years. In issue after issue, Michael carefully considers all sides and makes fair choices. He has protected Gig Harbor’s charm, yet balanced that with an intelligent approach to the invigoration of our town. He represents the kind of council member we all wanted — and want — to work with.
We have watched Michael as he grew up before us. He went away to college, started his own business, graduated and returned to the Harbor, bringing his business with him. We have watched as his business grew, as he married and started a family. Michael served as a Parks Commissioner bringing fresh ideas and energetic perspective to our community. During his time on the Commission, our park system grew and expanded. He has carried that passion with him to the Council.
Michael is respected, accomplished and capable. He is our choice in the race for Position No. 6. We urge you to join us and hundreds of Gig Harbor citizens, and re-elect Michael Perrow to Gig Harbor’s City Council.
