Heather Shadko previously served on the Puyallup City Council from 2013 through 2017 and is running again, this time for the at-large seat. She is currently a contracts manager for the Port of Tacoma and a board member of the Pierce County Transit Board, as well as a former vice-chair of the Planning Commission. Shadko made good use of her time on the council, advocating for environmental impact statements for large development projects, fighting for humane treatment of the homeless, and championing public open spaces. Now she is running to improve transportation options, advocate for solutions to homelessness that include affordable housing and addressing mental health, and ensure Puyallup is heard by Pierce County leaders.
Shadko is running against conservative incumbent Dean Johnson, who works at the Nordstrom corporate office in Seattle. Unfortunately, during his time on the council Johnson has failed to adequately address the affordable housing shortage or provide compassionate solutions to the homelessness crisis.
Shadko is the experienced, progressive pick for this position.Last updated: 2023-04-05Heather Shadko
