ELECTION: Jeni Woock works for average citizens

During the past year, the Gig Harbor City Council has made some decisions that do not represent the best interests of the people who live here. It is time for a change of leadership.

Jeni Woock represents a positive change in leadership; she actually gets out into the community and talks to the private citizens who are affected by the council’s decisions.

A recent case in point is the rezone in Millville, passed by the City Council, but opposed by a majority of the people who will have to live across from a restaurant that can stay open until 11 at night with all the accompanying noise and traffic congestion. Allowing a restaurant in Millville will not revitalize historic downtown, but it will negatively impact the people who live with the consequences of this decision.

Woock does the research on current issues and gathers the opinions of the citizens of our town. She deserves our support on the City Council to represent fairly and accurately what the citizens of this great city want. Every poll and visioning statement indicates that we the people want to preserve and protect the historic charm of the gem that is Gig Harbor.
