Joshua SCHAER
- Nonpartisan
|
|
Vote YES for Joshua Schaer and
the Bellevue Charter! Joshua is an appellate attorney and Bellevue
resident since 1989. He was elected as a Precinct Committee Officer in 1996,
and served on the Eastside
Transit Sounding Board and Neighborhood Enhancement Program. Joshua’s
legal expertise, writing skills,
and knowledge of our City make him ideal for the Charter Commission, drafting
an improved government
structure.
Joshua favors an elected mayor accountable to residents, and neighborhood
districts with fair
representation. Growing up in Albuquerque, NM, he knew the mayor – an
open and accessible city leader.
When Joshua’s family moved to Bellevue, he was surprised to learn our
community let the council select
the mayor without direct voting. Shouldn’t we approve our own leadership?
On May 20th, you can make a difference by voting YES! Joshua Schaer is the
right candidate for election,
and he will work hard for a better Bellevue.

Ken
SEAL - Nonpartisan
|
|
Ken Seal has been a community
activist in Bellevue for forty-five years. Beginning with the Lake Hills
Community Club, he was a Lake Hills Sewer District Commissioner, participated
in Land-use/Zoning
decisions and currently serves on the East Bellevue Municipal Community Council,
which speaks out on
behalf of all neighborhoods of Bellevue.
Elect our city council by districts so council members can effectively
campaign in person and know the
problems of each neighborhood.
Elect our part-time Mayor at large. Federal and State Legislation has created
laws administered by
hordes of bureaucrats; so we need a professional Administrative Assistant
for the Mayor. All city
department heads should be subject to council authority.
We need the power of initiative and referendum to help give the citizens
of Bellevue a strong voice in
advising the city council in directing the city’s progress.
