Barbara de Michele is running unopposed for another term on the Issaquah City Council in Position 3, where she has served since 2019. Before that, de Michele held other community leadership positions, including serving two terms on the Issaquah School District Board of Directors and more than a decade on the Issaquah Arts Commission. She is also actively involved in building safe opportunities and communities for youth and families through her past roles as business manager of The Garage and executive director of Issaquah Community Network.
De Michele has been a staunch voice for reducing the cost of living while maintaining a well-resourced community with high-quality public services. On the council, she worked to redirect millions in progressive revenue for local affordable housing and homelessness prevention measures, protect tenants with a required six-month rent increase notice, champion the continued development of a 2042 Sound Transit station in Issaquah, and establish an Equity Board to ensure Issaquah is a thriving and welcoming community for all.
She is running for re-election on a detailed and optimistic platform with goals including increasing language access to municipal resources, partnering with marginalized community members to improve life in Issaquah, leading the way for greater transit diversity in the city to reduce congestion, and preserving public green and recreation spaces. She has strong progressive support and deserves your vote for Position 3.
