Letter to the Editor: Join me in voting for Doris McConnell

To the Editor:

Corinna Sullivan's LTE, "Deep Concerns about Re-electing Doris McConnell", does not describe the Doris McConnell I know. The Doris McConnell I know cares deeply about Shoreline and all its citizens. Doris is a thoughtful council member, who works effectively and quietly behind the scenes (and after hours) getting things done.

Doris listens to citizens' concerns, and votes for what's best for her constituents. For example, when the time came to vote on the radical rezone in 2015, Doris was one of only three council members who had the guts to say "no" to the Development Lobby, and I trust her to do that again if necessary. 

On the other hand, the Development Lobby loves Doris' opponent, David Chen, as evidenced by his campaign flyer, which says at the bottom "No candidate authorized this ad. It is paid for by Washington Association of REALTORS® PAC.  Top 5 Contributors National Association of REALTORS®, Washington REALTORS®, Seattle King County Association of REALTORS®, Spokane Association of REALTORS®, Snohomish County-Camano Association of REALTORS®". 
Please join me in voting for Doris Fujioka McConnell.
