"Our community is worth fighting for, I work tirelessly to ensure our families have a bright future in Sedro-Woolley" -Joe
No public official should control their own salary. That is why Joe voted to give away control of his Council salary to an independent commission, and fought against council members bent on taking back that power.
Bringing more activities to Sedro-Woolley for our youth is very important to Joe. Because of that, he voted to help bring the YMCA youth drop-in center to our former library building.
Joe is the only Council-member who traveled to Olympia this year and advocated for you, our city, and our first responders.
As Chair of the Planning and Business Development Committee, Joe held round table discussions between City Council members and local business owners to help us better understand how we can foster growth of our local small businesses.
Joe voted to provide funds for the North Star Project, YMCA, Helping Hands and Family Promise. Because "Sometimes people fall and need help, the Christian thing to do is help get them back on their feet."
Community Court is a great program that helps get people on a better path. Joe voted to keep utilizing this court system in Sedro-Woolley.
As Chair of the Business Development Committee, Joe brought to the council and passed an ordinance lowering mobile vendor fees from $1,000 to $75, the average rate in the county.
Joe pushed for and passed an ordinance to get graffiti cleaned up in our city.
He voted to create a splash park as well as replace the playground equipment and restrooms at Memorial Park.
