Says Chambers will serve Bellingham well

It has been my pleasure to have met and worked on various committees with Catherine Chambers these past few years. She is an excellent choice for the Bellingham City Council's Ward 6 representative.

I was a tentative Democrat when Hillary Clinton announced she was running for president, and Catherine showed me how to effectively get involved in politics. Since then I have been a member of the local women's Democrat club. Catherine has been the president of that fine group of hard working ladies and she brings in interesting speakers, and runs an outstanding meeting. I always leave those meetings with that "feel-good" accomplished experience.

Catherine knows what she's doing. She has the political and local experience the voters of Bellingham need now. Above all else, Catherine works for the people and she listens. That is so important to me, knowing she represents what many of the local people issues are.

Catherine is the best woman for the job and one Bellingham can't pass by to give another incompetent a "chance" to get involved. She's already there. Be smart and support Catherine Chambers when you vote. It's the right thing to do.
