Moderate Wendy Weiker, a community outreach manager at Puget Sound Energy, is running for re-election to Mercer Island City Council, Position 3. She has served in a multitude of community leadership roles, including as a board member of EarthShare, an active member of three PTAs on the island, and as a liaison to the Sound Cities Association. If re-elected, she will maintain her focus on public safety, protecting the community from gun violence, investing in infrastructure, and supporting the Mercer Island Center for the Arts and rapidly changing Town Center.
Weiker is running against Amazon manager Jon Hanlon, whose primary priorities are transportation, public safety, and budget issues. He states that he will not allow Sound Transit operations beyond what is explicitly established by the settlement and connects additional transit with increases in crime.
While Weiker is not the most progressive candidate on Mercer Island, she is the clear choice over the more conservative Hanlon.
