Snohomish County, Wash. (January 4, 2021) – Today, Nate Nehring, announced that he will seek re-election to the Snohomish County Council for District 1. Arlington, Darrington, Granite Falls, Marysville, Stanwood, and unincorporated North Snohomish County comprise District 1.

“It has been an honor to serve the residents of North Snohomish County on the County Council for the last four years”, Nehring said. “During my first term, I have prioritized balanced budgets with no tax increases, supporting public safety, and growing jobs in Snohomish County. I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving the citizens of District 1 for the next four years.”

Nehring has served as District 1 representative on the Snohomish County Council since 2017 and recently finished a term as Snohomish County Council Chairman. He was the first member of a minority party to be elected Chairman of the Council and currently has over 150+ early endorsements from local leaders on both sides of the aisle.
