Harris is running against incumbent Fred Gouge, who has served in the position since 1999. Gouge has responsibly managed the port's budget and played a key role promoting business development. Harris is the better choice in this race because of her broader support from progressive partners.

Retired strategic city adviser Susan Paine is running for Port of Edmonds, District 5. Paine has experience serving on the Edmonds School Board and as a strategic adviser for City of Seattle. Paine aims to increase collaboration with the City Council and the community especially on matters related to the development of the waterfront. Paine is prioritizing environmental stewardship as well as finding funding to understand the long-term financial impacts for redevelopment proposals and addressing contamination remediation in the Port.

Paine is running against incumbent Steven Johnston, who was appointed to the position in May 2016. Johnston is focused on business development and supporting the Port's tourism industry. Paine is the stronger choice in this race because of her support from progressive partners.

Kristiana Johnson is running for re-election to Edmonds City Council, Position 1. She has worked as a city and regional planner for King County and the City of Bellevue. Her campaign focuses on protecting the city's cultural history, local waterways, and the Edmonds Marsh. On the council, Johnson voted to extend a ban on crumb rubber following public concern over negative environmental and health consequences on the Woodway Campus.

Johnson is being challenged by Josh Thompson, a legislative aide to Snohomish County Councilmember Stephanie Wright. Johnson's proven track record on balancing environmental protections with economic growth has earned her a second term.

Council member Mike Nelson is running for re-election to Edmonds City Council, Position 2. During his two years on the council, Nelson has passed legislation to reduce gun violence, commit Edmonds to 100% renewable energy to fight climate change, and was the lone vote against cuts to fire and emergency medical services. Nelson's priorities for his next term are affordable housing, making Edmonds more inclusive, and enhancing protections for our wetlands and streams. Nelson is running unopposed and deserves your vote.

Adrienne Fraley-Monillas is running for re-election to Edmonds City Council, Position 3. She has supported the environment in her two terms as councilmember through her commitment to keep coal trains out of the waterfront. Fraley-Monillas has also supported Edmonds' Safe City Resolution and hopes it will lead to sanctuary city status. She is president of the Snohomish County Health District, as well as a volunteer at the Edmonds Senior Center. Her opponent is Al Rutledge, a perennial candidate. Fraley-Monillas is the best choice in this race.
