Cascadia Daily News Endorsement
The Cascadia Daily News endorses Kerri Burnside for Bellingham City Council Ward 4.
In a race with two worthy contenders, neighborhood activist Kerri Burnside's new energy earns a slight nod.
- Skip Williams, a veteran, has been a solid leader on the council in his first term.
- Kerri Burnside, a sharp and energetic challenger, vows to refocus the council on city needs in more dynamic ways.
The Editorial Board at Cascadia Daily News sees both candidates as worthy representatives of residents of Ward 4.
However, the board gives a slight edge to Burnside, who has revitalized the Silver Beach Neighborhood Association and taken a lead role on city housing and renter protections.
