Fourteen years ago, I had the privilege to support Ray Stephanson as he ran for Mayor of Everett. He brought leadership and stability to our city. With his direction, a community was created that has provided for a healthy family and business climate, which has given the citizens of Everett an elevated quality of life.

We are now faced with the opportunity to elect an individual that will build upon his legacy. Mayor Stephanson encouraged Cassie Franklin to run for Mayor. I fully support his thoughtful endorsement of Cassie Franklin and would like to share my experience working with her.

Over the past month I have had the opportunity to get to know Cassie Franklin. As someone who has lived in Snohomish County since 1976, I can say this: Everett is kind of a big deal in Snohomish County. We may believe our little city or town is better, but at the end of the day, the city of Everett is still kind of a big deal.

And, that means the choice of mayor for Everett is incredibly important to everyone in Snohomish County. I pick Cassie Franklin.

Hace siete años, después de graduarme de Western Washington University, empecé a trabajar para una organización que apoya a jóvenes sin hogar.

I have worked with Cassie Franklin for the past six years. I have been able to see her lead and learn from her staff, while growing the impact, reputation and reach of the organization that she and I take so much pride in: Cocoon House.

When I heard Cassie would be running for mayor, it seemed silly that anyone would bother running against her. Let me explain.

Upon completion of the primary, and believing in my message, I asked myself, “how can I stay involved?” The answer was obvious; to support the person who best shares a vision and plan for Everett that includes economic development and safe streets. I owed it to those who voted for me to support the right person. So, I met and talked with both candidates twice, met and talked with over 20 other citizens of Everett, some my supporters, some Judy Tuohy’s, and some Cassie Franklin’s. After weeks of deliberating, it was clear, Cassie was the best choice and she was the only candidate with a plan.

Everett has had the benefit of two outstanding mayors during the past two decades: Ed Hansen and Ray Stephanson. Each was not afraid to make tough decisions and set visionary courses required to advance the city as they guided it forward while carefully managing its fiscal framework. As a result, Everett has grown in stature and the quality of life for its residents has increased. Having served as the finance director for the county during the Great Recession, I recognize the importance of good fiscal management in the face of a complex and challenging economy.

Cassie Franklin’s goals are for an Everett that is: Safer. Stronger. Together. And while I could emphasize her abilities to accomplish those Safer & Stronger goals by delineating her excellent qualifications - based on her work with Cocoon House, as a City Council member, and Rotarian - I’ll let others do that. I’m more compelled to reflect on her plans to accomplish those goals… Together.

I am proud that ILWU Local 32 endorses Cassie Franklin for Mayor!

My family has been in Everett for at least the last 100 years. I can look at historical photos of Everett’s working waterfront and I envision my strong, surly grandfather working as a longshoreman on the docks, loading and unloading cargo into the ‘ships.’

A Letter from Jim Scharf | Cassie Franklin was hired while I was serving as a member of the board of directors for Cocoon House. How fortunate for us and the community; Cassie was energetic, creative and able to challenge the norm. She was the obvious choice when it came time to hire a new CEO. Her vision for growth, ability to manage a very large team of staff, work with her board of directors and the community, while providing outstanding programs for youth, is truly exceptional.

A Letter from Julio Cortez | Seven years ago, after graduating from Western Washington University, I started working for a local non-profit serving homeless youth in Snohomish County.

A Letter from Reid Shockey | Several months ago I wrote to urge the candidates for Everett mayor to exercise civility in the upcoming election. We have two current council members running for the office that I have no doubt will meet that test. This time I write to urge our community’s citizens and leaders to step forward and offer their support.
