Over the past eight years, I have watched Mayor Becky Erickson work diligently to improve the city of Poulsbo in many areas and in many ways, while retaining the close-knit community that we have had for decades.

Mayor Erickson continually keeps local residents informed and involved. She creates a partnership of all elements of citizenry and government.

Her vision for the future growth and needs of the city is practical and attainable.

She represents the city at many organizations and events not only within the city but outside the city as well … at the county, regional, state and national level.

Other governmental agencies look to her for guidance because of the above mentioned qualities.

I regret that I live just outside the city limits and will be unable to vote for her, but I would urge everyone within the city limits to vote for her and continue the healthy, progressive, practical future that has been ongoing during her tenure.
