County Executive: Pierce County needs new leadership

I have been a home builder in Pierce County since 1988 and now choose to build in Kitsap County because of the complex, frustrating, difficult building department at the Pierce County Annex. I believe Bruce Dammeier is the right man at this time to bring positive change to our broken county administration.

I have know Bruce for more than 20 years and know that he has a rare combination of intelligence, common sense, and vision.

Bruce inspires people through his thoughtful, articulate conversations. He is hard-working and pragmatic, with an ability to build consensus.

I believe he will usher in a new era of transparency and competence that will propel Pierce County forward to a more prosperous future.
