I am proud to endorse James Sterba for Mukilteo City Council. James has consistently demonstrated the qualities and values that our council needs. He has an unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility, a deep-rooted involvement in the fabric of our community, and an authentic passion for the continued growth and vibrancy of Mukilteo. In a time where budgets are perpetually tight, we need someone like James, who is committed to cutting waste and increasing revenue, without raising taxes. Time after time, James has shared with me his desire to improve the business climate in Mukilteo, while growing our reputation as a hidden gem of the Northwest.

Beyond his financial acumen, James’s commitment to community involvement sets him apart as a leader who truly listens to and engages with the people he seeks to represent. We’ve had countless chats at the softball fields as our daughters have battled on the diamond. Much like his daughter in sports, James leaves it all on the field and never gives up.
Most importantly, James’ candidacy is fueled by an undeniable passion for Mukilteo—a city he calls home and cherishes deeply. His vision for our future is both inspiring and practical, emphasizing sustainable growth, and preservation of the unique character that makes Mukilteo special. Mukilteo is a great city, but we are not yet living to our full potential. James Sterba is the man to get us there. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his drive to make a difference is matched only by his humility and willingness to work hard for the greater good. For these reasons and more, I wholeheartedly support James Sterba for Mukilteo City

I appreciate the honesty and openness in your writing.
I love how practical and realistic your tips are.
Such a refreshing take on a common topic.
Chamber of Commerce always has their favorite sons. Why haven’t they been involved in City committees or issues previously? We need representation for both business and community citizens for a livable and prosperous community.
