Jennifer Lamari runs a solo law practice in Lakewood and has served in various positions in the criminal legal system, including criminal deputy prosecutor, defense attorney, civil deputy prosecutor, and assistant city attorney.
She states that she is running to bring the depth of her legal experience to the council, and to uphold the Constitution, promote interaction between minority-owned businesses and the city, and improve access to the city's lakes, among other priorities. Rather than focusing on criminalization and prosecution, she wants the city to avoid using jail as "housing" for people experiencing homelessness and instead focus on creating more shelters and affordable homes. Additionally, she recognizes the cultural diversity of Lakewood, proposing more engagement with minority-owned business and encouraging voter participation.
Jennifer Lamari seems to be the most progressive candidate in this race, and is backed by Indivisible Tacoma and the 28th Legislative District Democrats. We lean towards voting for her for Lakewood City Council, Position 3.
