Building better communities where all people --- from grandparents to kids --- can safely bike to where they want to go requires elected officials who champion better bikeways and more funding. That’s why Cascade works so hard to elect candidates who share our values and push for better bicycling infrastructure. In addition to the 15 candidates already endorsed prior to the primary election, Cascade now endorses another 27 candidates. Please join us in helping to elect: State Races State Senate District 26 Nathan Schlicher County Races King County Executive Dow Constantine King County Council, Pos. 1 Rod Dembowski Snohomish County Council, Pos. 1 Bill Blake Snohomish County Council, Pos. 5 Dave Somers Port Races Port of Seattle, Pos. 1 John Creighton Port of Seattle, Pos. 3 Stephanie Bowman City Races Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus Auburn City Council, Pos. 6 Rich Wagner Bainbridge Island City Council, North Ward Val Tollefson Bainbridge Island City Council, South Ward Roger Townsend Bellevue City Council, Pos. 4 Steve Kasner Bellevue City Council, Pos. 6 Lynne Robinson & Vandana Slatter Bremerton City Council, Pos. 4 Greg Wheeler Burien City Council, Pos. 1 Lauren Berkowitz Burien City Council, Pos. 5 Nancy Tosta Des Moines City Council, Pos. 7 Dave Kaplan Edmonds City Council, Pos. 3 Adrienne Fraley-Monillas Federal Way City Council, Pos. 6 Martin Moore Kenmore City Council, Pos. 4 Nigel Herbig Kirkland City Council, Pos. 1 Jay Arnold Kirkland City Council, Pos. 3 Penny Sweet Kirkland City Council, Pos. 5 Amy Walen Kirkland City Council, Pos. 7 Doreen Marchione Lake Forest Park City Council, Pos. 1 Hilda Thompson Lake Forest Park City Council, Pos. 3 John Wright Lake Forest Park City Council, Pos. 5 Mark Phillips Lake Forest Park City Council, Pos. 7 John Resha Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler Mercer Island City Council, Pos. 2 Dan Grausz Mercer Island City Council, Pos. 5 Tana Senn Mukilteo Mayor Jennifer Gregorson Mukilteo City Council, Pos. 3 Randy Lord Sammamish City Council, Pos. 1 Kathleen Huckabay Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn Seattle City Council, Pos. 2 Richard Conlin Seattle City Council, Pos. 4 Sally Bagshaw Seattle City Council, Pos. 6 Nick Licata Seattle City Council, Pos. 8 Mike O’Brien Shoreline City Council, Pos. 3 Will Hall Shoreline City Council, Pos: 7 Chris Roberts Tacoma City Council, Pos. 2 Robert Thoms Cascade endorses candidates who will be leaders for creating better communities through bicycling, as expressed by their positions and values and by their past leadership. In addition, Cascade only engages in races where the candidates actively seek our endorsement. Cascade is not partisan except insofar that we’re bike-partisan. We have endorsed both Democrats and Republicans, as we did this year. Now that you know who Cascade believes are the most bike-friendly candidates in the region, we need to work to get them elected.
