I met Ed Prince at the Cascade Neighborhood picnic this past summer and was immediately impressed by him. I am currently serving as the president of my homeowners association, and when Ed realized he had not been in my neighborhood he asked if I would accompany him on a walking tour of our neighborhood so he could fully understand the issues our neighborhood is facing.  During the tour Ed met several of our neighbors and also patiently listened to an issue our neighborhood was trying to clarify with the City of Renton.  After the tour, Ed did some research on his own and passed along useful information to help us resolve the issue.

Ed has an impressive community-based resume which is validated by an equally impressive list of endorsements. Therefore, I was quite dismayed by the choice of his opponent’s campaign to go negative and try to discredit Ed, based on some personal issues Ed has faced in his life (really, non-issues in this campaign). I found the issues to be similar to paths many of us have walked down in life. It’s how we face and address the issues life deals us that make us stronger, wiser and experienced as we make decisions in the future.

Ed Prince will make an excellent Renton City Council member.  He is attentive, thoughtful, and intelligent. I and many, many others have found him to be extremely knowledgeable about Renton and its people, issues and needs. Ed is dedicated to our city.
