I believe that when a person wants to serve on our Renton City Council they should be exemplary individuals. They should be pillars of our community, their backgrounds should be impeccable. They should be a cut above the rest and an example to the people they represent. There should be no skeletons in their closet.

I have served over 37 years as a police officer and I am a Vietnam veteran. I have lived in Renton for over 30 years. I support the decision of the Renton Police Officers Guild to pull their endorsement of Mr. Prince.

The guild made their decision based on careful review of recorded court documents, not allegations. Mr. Prince’s values do NOT reflect the values of our community.

Robin Jones has that impeccable background that will serve our community well. Robin Jones is a deputy commander of over 1,600 men and women in our military. That position would not have ever been achieved if his background was in question.

I already voted for Robin and I ask you to join me. Robin is endorsed by the King County Democrats and the 11th District Democrats.
