Julie Peterson

I am running for Kent City Council because I believe in the awesome responsibility we have to become a voice in our communities. I have lived and worked in Kent for many years. As a professional real estate agent, I assist families and businesses make one of their most important financial decisions in choosing their home here. I understand their needs for safe neighborhoods, strong schools for their children, reasonable commutes to and from work, and for a vibrant local economy to support the important public safety and recreational needs of all our citizens.

I am a graduate of Enumclaw High School, and the University of Washington. I have been a self-employed business owner for many years. I am a member and past Secretary of the Rotary Club of Kent. I would appreciate the opportunity to be your voice for Kent’s future. Thank you.

Are you tired of increasing taxes, with no real benefit seen? We all have a budget to work with, and decisions to make regarding what we need, and what would be nice to have. The City of Kent should operate no differently. As a city, we need to have outstanding Police and Fire Departments. We need to maintain our utilities, and improve our road structure for transportation. Yes, there are wants, but our needs must take priority. It must be done with a real budget; not one based on "projected" revenue. Raising taxes is the simple solution to pay for everything. You elect people to make the hard decisions, and I will do that for you. The government does nothing to generate revenue, except to take your hard-earned dollars. It’s time for government to live with what they have, and take no more.
