Parents are attracted to Mercer Island for many reasons including great schools and a safe community.  I am supporting Rich Erwin in his bid for City Council because of his strong commitment to both.

Also important for families is the availability and beauty of our parks and open spaces. Our many parks provide places for families to play with our children, walk our dogs, meet up with friends, recreate and enjoy outdoor entertainment.  We are unique on this island in the amount of investment made in these resources and they need to be cherished and protected. Rich Erwin is passionate about protecting our parks and open spaces and is committed to keeping Mercer Island sustainable. He cares about the things that parents care about.  For those reasons I will be voting for Rich Erwin.  I hope you will too.
