Politically savvy folks from the left, center and right are endorsing Dan Pike for mayor. Imagine the Bellingham Herald, Tim Johnson of the Cascadia Weekly and myself of NwCitizen all agreeing on Pike out of seven candidates.
Aug 9 clarification: The Weekly gave strong arrows up for three candidates and the longest was for Dan McShane, with Seth and Dan Pike sharing slightly shorter up arrows. Thus, their strongest endorsement was for McShane.
(The Whatcom Independent does not give endorsements as a matter of policy.) Below is an endorsement photo taken yesterday on the steps of City Hall with Dan in the middle surrounded by supporters with different perspectives. Activists, community leaders and even former mayoral candidates - as we get to know Dan we readily endorse him.
Many who have been involved in trying to improve our government locally recognize in Dan the qualities we seek in a mayor. Intelligence, honesty, administrative skill, and a proven competence in making government work to solve problems. We recognize that we have the chance now to elect a really good mayor. One that is fair to all and brings openness to City Hall. His only agenda is good government for our city.
I urge you in voting to give Dan Pike your vote in this primary election. Let's get him into the general election with one of the other better-known candidates and make our final choice for mayor in November. It would be a shame if Dan was not one of the two we had for consideration in the general election. Let's each of us do all we can to get him into the general. Vote for him.
