As president and founding member of Onebothell.org, we are very fortunate to have James McNeal running for the Bothell City Council.

To experience his honesty, integrity and commitment to this organization has been astounding. Obviously, he would have a balanced approach to land development with his great interest in open space and wildlife protection. Hopefully, we will be able to bring his experience to the council because he has the right values and background.

He’s thoughtful, listens and responds and takes action to find solutions. It’s interesting that even the Seattle Times endorsed our three best candidates for the council: James McNeal, Andy Rheaume and Divina Duerr.

James McNeal’s balanced approach will represent all Bothell citizens. It’s about time.
