Former Blaine City Councilmember Jaime Arnett is running for Whatcom County Public Utility District (PUD) in the commissioner 3 seat. Arnett runs a local company that connects people with animals as a form of mental and behavioral therapy. She also works on community housing issues through Habitat for Humanity and previously worked in the local commercial fishing industry.
If elected, Arnett would represent a progressive voice on the PUD. Her impressive goals for office include bringing free broadband to the county, safeguarding our clean air and water, ensuring responsible and sustainable fishing, and protecting the Nooksack River. With her commercial fishing background and her proven track record of community leadership, Arnett is equipped to advocate for these community issues effectively and collaboratively, while building good communication with the public.
Also in this race is Eric Davidson, a current Blaine City Council member and registered nurse. Davidson is running on a more vague platform to safeguard Whatcom’s public utilities and he lacks a campaign website as of late September.

Public Utilities District
Advisory Vote 39
This spring, Democrats in Olympia passed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5974, which included a small increase in aircraft fuel taxes. This change would raise an estimated $14 million in public revenue and help our state achieve its climate goals.
This bill was sponsored by some of Washington’s most progressive lawmakers and passed with a clear majority in the session. The legislation will help our state create a sustainable future where generations can thrive with clean air and water.
Vote “Maintained” on State Advisory Vote 39.
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 non-binding advisory vote. The Legislature had a historically productive 2022 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.
