Proven Leadership. Real Answers.

It isn't often that voters are presented with real answers to the complex questions of of government - or clear choices in candidates. But on June 9th, when Bill Smitherman launched his campaign for Pierce County Council Position Four, voters were given a clear choice.

Bill Smitherman brings eight years of experience in public office and more than 20 years in other arenas of public service including teaching at Jason Lee Middle School and University of Puget Sound, community development in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood, and budgeting and systems analysis for City of Tacoma. His success as a State Representative and State Senator has inspired Former Governor Booth Gardner, Senator Lorraine WojahnWA State Farm Bureau PAC, and Tacoma Carol Baarsma to join his growing list of endorsements.

Bill Smitherman's experience in so many facets of community life has helped develop his vision of co-operation - only by bringing the many levels of local government together with community groups and individuals can we address the challenges of the future in Puget Sound.

Yet, Bill Smitherman's vision is also a practical one, with proven results. He has fought to deliver job training, economic development, improved education, fiscal responsibility for government, the new, advanced University of Washington, Tacoma campus, and led many initiatives to protect nature and the quality of life here in Pierce County.

"It's important for me to meet the people of this district face to face," says Smitherman. "Sometimes, people don't feel that the Pierce County Council plays a meaningful role in ther daily lives. We can only make an impact by making sure our policies represent the needs and views of the people we're here to serve."
