Cindy Gobel, a certification and training specialist with the Washington Secretary of State, is running for Position 1 on the Marysville City Council. She has served the public as a representative with the Women’s Law Caucus in Snohomish County from 2012 to 2015. Outside of elected work, Gobel has worked in law enforcement and as a mediator, and she has done substantial work in voter registration. She spent 27 years as a union member and has worked on the Community Emergency Response Team since 2008.
Gobel is running to bring her extensive experience in public service to the Marysville City Council. If elected, she would focus on expanding affordable housing, supporting small businesses, and improving infrastructure.

In this race, Gobel is supported by the local Democrats and local progressive leaders. Cindy Gobel's record of public service and leadership on civic issues makes her the best choice for Marysville City Council, Position 1.

Because of a Tim Eyman initiative, the Legislature is required to submit any bill it passes that closes tax loopholes or raises revenue to a nonbinding advisory vote. The Legislature had a historically productive 2021 session, resulting in several advisory votes appearing on the ballot. We hope the Legislature will change the law to remove these meaningless measures in the future.
