Letter to the Editor: Re-elect Doris McConnell

To the Editor:

We are writing to ask you to re-elect Deputy Mayor Doris McConnell to the Shoreline City Council. As fellow councilmembers, we see how hard Doris works for our City. She loves her community and the diversity of people and perspectives here. She listens, she cares, and she isn’t shy about supporting the things and people she believes in. You can find her at Shoreline Chamber of Commerce meetings supporting local businesses, attending Planning Commission meetings to learn the details of upcoming projects, and volunteering at neighborhood events to connect with residents.

She is an independent voice on the Council, bringing diverse viewpoints for our consideration that result in better decisions. She is a fierce advocate for our community, working to protect the city from inappropriate development at Point Wells.

Doris’ vision for Shoreline includes growth in the right places; support for our Parks including the planned Shoreline Aquatics, Recreation, and Community Center; promoting our neighborhoods and neighborhood centers; and making our City a welcoming place for all.

She has been a mentor to us, and a friend. We hope to continue working and collaborating with Doris for another 4 years. Please consider voting for her in November.

Betsy Robertson, Councilmember
