I’m currently a senior at Lake Washington High School, and I’ve lived in Redmond my entire life. I know Steve through many seasons of Little League baseball, and I can say that he is smart, patient and a good team-builder, and that’s why I’m helping him campaign for office. This is also the first election I get to vote in!

The excitement I heard about Steve’s campaign got me interested enough to get involved, and since then, I’ve learned a lot about local politics.

Going out with other volunteers to talk to voters, I have heard from many people that the way the city is growing is really impacting their lives, and they are frustrated because they don’t feel like they are connected to the decisions being made. Because they are used to having their concerns ignored, voters have been impressed that we visit them personally.

Steve told me that a main part of his message is that better decisions are made by the government when citizens are involved in the process, because it gives a sense of ownership in the community and encourages people to get active in local government. I know he will inspire others to be active in local politics like he has with me. This election seems like it will be a turning point for Redmond, and I am glad to be a part of it.

Make sure to fill out your ballot by Nov. 3 and vote for Steve Fields!
