I voted for Jack Dovey and I urged you to do the same. As a business owner, Jack has the ability to see both sides of an issue. He has proven to be an approachable leader, who is very aware of the impact each vote makes on the citizens of Federal Way. I find it interesting that people who haven’t the gumption to file for election themselves, find fault with anyone who does not vote their agenda.

I applaud Jack for voting for what is right in Federal Way and urge voters to return him to the city council. We need him at any time, but especially in these tough economic times. We need experience and commitment, and Jack has both of these values.

Hope Elder, Federal Way

Note: Elder is a former city council member.
