Current Snohomish County Council President Dave Somers is running for Snohomish County Executive. Somers is an experienced and capable member of the Snohomish County Council with an exceptional track-record on environmental and smart growth issues. He worked as a fisheries biologist before joining the Council. He's supported measures to create parks and open spaces, protect farmland, increase transit funding, and invest in alternative fuels. Somers also supports focusing new development in urban areas with easy transportation access.
Although the candidates do not have deep ideological differences, Somers is challenging Lovick because he believes Lovick has been a poor manager of the County’s finances. Somers is campaigning on providing stronger fiscal management, transportation improvements, and supporting manufacturing jobs. But Somers has frustrated many progressives by opposing a proposal that would tie Boeing’s tax breaks to keeping jobs in Washington.
If you’re looking for a candidate with an impressive track record on smart growth, transportation, and environmental protection in Snohomish County, Somers is a good choice.

Initiative 1366
Initiative-1366 from Tim Eyman orders the legislature to send a constitutional amendment to the voters next year requiring a two-thirds supermajority vote to close tax loopholes or raise revenue. If legislators refuse, Eyman’s initiative would create an $8 billion hole in our state budget over the next six years by cutting the sales tax by a full 1 percent.
