Jace Cotton is running for re-election to the Bellingham City Council, At-Large position. He was first elected in 2023 to fill out the remainder of Kristina Michele Martens’ term when she ran for mayor. Cotton has a long track record of progressive leadership, having managed campaigns for Whatcom Democrats, Yes for Whatcom Kids, and Community First Whatcom. Through this work, he helped pass the Healthy Children’s Fund, a voter-approved initiative that secured historic funding to ensure that all Whatcom children have access to healthy, resourced starts and bright futures.
In his first year on the council, Cotton has been a voice for local progress in improving life in Bellingham for all residents. He supported a parking policy that would improve walkability and reduce congestion. Cotton wants to address the rising cost of living and supports raises to local wages, affordable housing prices, and renters’ protections. His re-election campaign priorities remain the same, focusing on affordable housing, tenant protections, and increasing the minimum wage to keep up with the cost of living.
We recommend re-electing Jace Cotton to serve another term on the Bellingham City Council, At-Large.
