The Editor:
I am one of many Whatcom County Council District 5 residents who have awaited the opportunity to replace incumbent councilmember Ben Elenbaas with someone who will truly represent us. Ben has carried the banner of “No way, no how” far too long.
Jackie Dexter is the candidate we’ve been waiting for. As an aquaculturist and sustainable farmer who works at the Drayton Harbor Oyster Farm, Jackie is committed to balancing jobs and the environment. She wants to improve economic opportunities for working families in order to keep people out of homelessness. Her focus will include the working waterfront at Blaine.
Jackie and her husband have lived in Whatcom County for over 18 years and are raising their children in Blaine. She has served as a member of the Whatcom Marine Resource Committee and as a volunteer for the Blaine Elementary School PTO. She supports expanding childcare and early learning, and extending internet access to all corners of the county.
Above all, she will be a fresh, candid, authentic voice on county council. She wants to hear and learn from all district constituents and is eager to truly represent us all. I, in turn, am eager to bring her positive, dynamic energy to the council and invite you to join me in voting for Jackie Dexter.
