- There will be a candidates forum Wednesday, October 7, at 7pm at the Boys and Girls Club, Inglewood Hill Road and 228th Ave. NE. It is sponsored by the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce and the Sammamish Rotary. It will not be videotaped or broadcast on Sammamish TV Channel 21, so this is your only chance to see the candidates and ask questions in a forum.
Beginning Thursday and ending today for five consecutive posts, Sammamish Comment will provide information about the five active candidates for Sammamish City Council running for Positions 2, 4 and 6. There is a sixth candidate, but he dropped out of the race two months after entering, but too late to withdraw his name from the ballot. Sammamish Comment began with Position 2 and continued in order, finishing today. Each profile will be for one candidate. Information will come principally, but not entirely, from the candidate’s website and the Public Disclosure Commission.
Tom Vance, Candidate for Sammamish City Council Position 6. He is the incumbent and is seeking reelection to his second term.
Today’s profile is of Tom Vance, who is seeking reelection to his second term to the City Council. Vance is current Mayor, a position that is elected by the Council itself; Sammamish citizens vote only for Council Members and not the specific position of Mayor. The Mayor’s position typically rotates among Council Members and is for a two year term.
Vance’s opponent is Tom Hornish.
