To the editor:

I am writing to strongly endorse longtime Bainbridge Island resident Ted Jones for the city council position.

Our city is a unique and special place to live, and Ted Jones has the passion, values, and skill to keep it that way.

I am really excited about the expertise, innovation, and commitment Ted Jones has displayed regarding our environment, our role in modeling and supporting climate change efforts, and in how we might enhance transportation in a sustainable, safe, and inviting way.

Ted Jones’ background as a civil engineer and an energy manager combined with his passion for sustainable growth, creative transportation options, and doing our part in climate change are a great mix for our city council. Please join me in supporting Ted Jones for city council.
