Jerry Seidl

    The late commissioner, Tim Daly, my friend of 35 years, served you honestly and with dedication. I want to represent you in the same manner of excellence he gave you.

    I have attended water district meetings regularly for the past 1-1/2 years and can provide the kind of representation that Tim provided.

    My goal is to provide quality water at the lowest possible cost. A deep concern is to protect our water supply from possible contamination by terrorists.

    I will represent everyone as if they are my close neighbors and friends.

    District resident for 39 years, I love the area and people. Worked 26 years as a boilermaker and 12 years at Boeing. Coached little league, active in church activities. I am an army veteran.

    Memberships include Eagles, Boeing Machinist and Boilermakers Retirement clubs, Highline Senior Center.

    I ask for and would appreciate your vote. Thank you.

Vance Allen

    Water flowing from your tap is a basic service we all take for granted. As a ratepayer we want this service at a minimum cost. As investors in District improvements we want facilities that are cost efficient and dependable. As consumers we want the right to purchase the water we need. It is the job of the Commissioners to provide the guidance and leadership to insure this happens. I offer thirty years experience in the mechanical field starting as an apprentice plumber to General Foreman of electrical maintenance at Seattle Steel. I am a third generation resident and small business owner. I am not a career politician seeking another position. I view this open seat as an opportunity to offer community service. I would appreciate your vote.
