Ronald Wastewater District Commissioner Pos #3 Candidate statement

Incumbent Laura Mork is running unopposed for Ronald Wastewater District, Commissioner Pos #3

Laura Mork

It was an honor to be appointed to Ronald Wastewater’s Commission position #3 in 2017. I have been working hard to represent the rate payers since then, and would appreciate your vote. 

As a 4th generation Washingtonian and 23 year Shoreline resident, I am committed to serving our community. I volunteered with the PTA while my two children attended Shoreline Public Schools, and am now serving as Vice Chair on the City of Shoreline Planning Commission as well as Secretary at the Ronald Wastewater commission.

I am a Chemical Engineer, and have worked diligently on energy conservation, environmental protection, and sustainability issues, as part of business infrastructure support management and planning for my day job for several decades now. This expertise will be helpful to manage new demands on our wastewater system as Shoreline continues to grow. 

We all depend on our community infrastructure, and I am passionate about keeping our city clean and safe through good wastewater management, as the removal of sewage is arguably one of the most important elements a city relies on being handled well, and at a reasonable cost.

I believe that quality infrastructure is the basis for superior community life, whether it be wastewater removal, sidewalks, well thought out zoning, roads, parks, schools, etc. Our parents and grandparents invested in establishing the basic infrastructure that has been set up for us. It is our turn now to upgrade it, as appropriate, for the new realities of life for our children and grandchildren.
