Jon MATHISON
Jon Mathison puts RESIDENTS INTERESTS FIRST. Having worked on behalf of Sammamish to prove inadequacies in King County's traffic congestion models, he continues to lead the way as a Sammamish Representative on the Metro Transit Sounding Board. Jon will invoke a building moratorium for as long as it takes to ensure health and safety concerns of Sammamish residents are addressed. Using cost/benefit analysis Jon will hold the line on taxes. He advocates growth pay for growth: taxpayers should not be saddled with the cost of roads and schools necessitated by new development. Jon supports our children and will work for schools, parks, and trails that work for our community. As a professional in the private sector, Jon works with municipalities to protect lakes and streams. Further studies are not required, action is. Action to redress years of neglect, overbuilding, and inadequate infrastructure. Jon Mathison puts your interests first.
