Judy Tuohy has brought Everett important recognition and helped revitalize downtown. She’s worked with people from diverse backgrounds and has earned your vote.
With Judy on the council, Everett would have a more representative government. Four out of seven council members are CPAs or CFOs. Everett’s council needs fewer CPAs and more women qualified to lead. We don’t need another numbers person; we need someone who understands the social issues beyond the numbers.
With Judy on the council, Everett would not have passed the burden of fixing the budget by approving a regressive utility tax and $20 car fee. The 4-to-3 vote to increase taxes passed by one vote: Richard Anderson. He was appointed to the council by Scott Murphy, after he got Murphy elected. We need an open government not backroom deals, secrets and scandals.
With Judy on the council, Everett would have a council member who listens. Last fall, the council heard from Everett residents asking for more representation — they ignored the will of the people and appointed more of the same. That decision brought a new layer of government with the car fee and taxing the heat on poor people! Judy helped raise millions of dollars to start the Shack Art Center; she has the leadership to find long-term solutions to Everett’s financial problems.
Now Everett residents, not just four council members, get to decide who represents us! Join me in voting for Judy Tuohy for Everett City Council!
