Although I’ve lived in Renton for more than four years, I’ve often felt like I’m disconnected from the community. So when Ed Prince, one of the candidates for City Council, invited me to meet with him to discuss the issues, I was surprised. It was refreshing for a candidate to want to hear from the public! I’ve spoken with Ed more about his views, and he certainly has earned my vote. He knows the issues facing Renton inside and out — he’s been serving this community for years already, and he has an excellent grasp on the need to support local business to grow our economy in Renton. He not only understands the need, he has realistic, well-informed plans for the short term and the long term. He also clearly cares about making our community a better place. I was impressed with his candor, his knowledge and his passion to serve Renton. In my opinion, Ed is more qualified, more experienced, and more involved in the Renton community than any other person running for this seat. I look forward to seeing him serve us on the council, and I have confidence that he will be a council member who will listen to his public.
