Melissa Duque is running for Mill Creek City Council, Position 6. Duque has been a member of the Mill Creek Park and Recreation Board since 2018 and has served as board chair since 2020. Outside of public service, she works with nonprofits and foundations on communications and project management to build change.
If elected, Duque wants to expand and protect public green spaces, foster responsive and transparent government, ensure economic recovery for Mill Creek businesses, and be smart about city growth. Duque has begun to actualize some of these goals during her time on the Parks and Recreation Board where she worked on the opening of Exploration Park and the updates to Heron Park. In this race, Duque has earned an impressive slate of endorsements from progressive leaders and Democratic organizations.
Duque is facing Shannon Warren and incumbent council member Adam Morgan. Morgan first joined the council after being appointed in 2020 to fill the spot left vacant by Mike Todd. He is running on a conservative platform that doesn't represent the people of Mill Creek. If re-elected, Morgan would reduce funding for essential services that support local families and keep our community safe.
Warren is a local cook, yoga practitioner, and hairstylist. Rather than submit information on her background to the county voter’s guide, Warren included a paragraph of adjectives that her close friends and family used to describe her. Without a background in public service or demonstrated community leadership, Warren lacks the necessary experience for the role.
We recommend Melissa Duque for Mill Creek City Council, Position 6 because of her progressive support and her strong community focus.
