Redmond residents, ballots are in the mail and its time to make a decision. People of any political persuasion can agree that the reps we’ve sent to Olympia are not getting it done.

Not only was I born and raised in Bellevue, I spent over 15 years serving the greater Eastside community as the executive director of the Bellevue Family YMCA and vice president of the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce. And it is because of my knowledge and love of the Eastside community that I am supporting Cyrus Habib for state representative in the 48th District.

On the contrary, Goodman has worked to keep us safe on the road by passing drunk-driving legislation that is a model for the nation. According to the Washington State Traffic Commission, Goodman’s legislation has resulted in a 36 percent decline in alcohol-related deaths and serious injuries on Washington’s roads in the last two years.
I “inherited” Hank Myers (48th District, Pos. 2 candidate) as a patient at the PolyClinic when his previous physician retired. During one of our meetings, we talked about life outside the clinic and we discovered that he lives only a couple of blocks from my family church.

Unless we could find a solution, our church would have to abandon this project which we had dedicated so much time and effort to and possibly leave Redmond.
