The primary vote for Sammamish City Council is tomorrow.
Three people are running for each of Postions 3, 5 and 7. Only two will advance to the general election in November.
Our recommendations for those who we believe would best serve Sammamish:
As Sammamish’s City Council primary heads into the final weekend before Tuesday’s vote, Sammamish Comment tracked the reader views of the questionnaires to gauge interest in the candidates.
There is no polling of a City Council election that we know of, so the readership of the questionnaires is the only solid evidence of interest in candidates.
Facebook has had a lively discussion of some of the candidates, but the participants are tilted decisively into a no-growth camp.
The readership interest in the candidate questionnaires is not scientific, but it’s the only thing we have to go on.
The question is, will this be a predictor of the outcome Tuesday night?
Most of the candidates for Sammamish City Council responded to an environmental questionnaire from Sammamish Friends.
The responses may be found here.
The group rates candidates with a green-colored bar chart.
John Robinson
Pamela Stuart
Sammamish voters should advance John Robinson and Pamela Stuart through the Aug. 1 primary to the November general election for Sammamish City Council.
As with our Recommendations yesterday for Position 5, both are newcomers to Sammamish politics. All things being equal, we like to see some seasoning and education on the complex issues of government in general and Sammamish in particular through service on the Planning Commission.
Ryika Hooshangi
Chris Ross
Sammamish voters will be well served to advance Ryika Hooshangi and Chris Ross through the Aug. 1 primary to the general election in November.
Both are newcomers to Sammamish politics. All things being equal, we like to see some seasoning and education on the complex issues of government in general and Sammamish in particular through service on the Planning Commission.
