I have lived in Renton for more than 10 years, and I am a local small business owner. This city’s future is important to me, and I know that Ed Prince has what it takes — the dedication, the knowledge, and the right attitude to do what’s right for Renton. After watching the elections and the officials in this city for the last 10 years (and anywhere in the state or the country), it seems that you can learn a lot about what kind of elected official someone will be by how they run their race. I would like to commend Ed Prince on spending the last eight or nine months talking to the voters about the issues in Renton, not smearing his opponent. I loved that he invited people out to meet him and talk about the issues — it tells me that he wants to know what is important to us, and that he cares about the people in Renton  Ed Prince is taking this step because he actually wants to do the best he can for the city he loves. He has the kind of civic resume you WANT in a City Council person. Ed has been working for Renton for years. I know Ed will do the work to support Renton’s businesses, create good local jobs, and keep our streets safe, because he’s already been doing it for years. He has my vote.
