Conversations with Kevin Wallace and Jennifer Robertson
From Bellevue Reporter Realpolitiks Blog:
Bellevue City Council candidate Jennifer Robertson stopped by the office earlier this week to introduce herself. She’s involved in what is shaping up to be a three-way race for the seat left vacant by the late Phil Noble.
Robertson, who calls herself a “municipal dork,” said she’s the candidate most prepared to hit the ground running from Day One. She’s dealt with some of the city’s most consequential issues, having worked on the Planning Commission during the formation of the Bel-Red corridor plan and on the Bellevue Light Rail Best Practices Committee.
“I’m the one that’s been intimately involved in those projects,” she said. “I have the most relevant, current experience.”
Robertson’s likely opponents have some municipal experience themselves. Michael Creighton is a former Bellevue City Council member and mayor – although he’s been out of the game for a few years – while Betina Finley is chair of the Bellevue Arts Commission and a member of the Meydenbauer Bay Steering Committee, which is dealing with hot-button issues over how to build Bellevue’s next waterfront park.
