Simpson 4 Lakewood

Hello. I am John Simpson, and I am a candidate for Position 5 on the Lakewood City Council. Since 1996, the City has made huge strides in improving parks and recreation, public safety, education, and a friendly business climate. As a former member of the City's Redevelopment Board, I know what a sound business environment can do for a municipality. As a former pro tempore City Council member, I know how to work with various agencies to get things done that have a positive effect on our City. And as a former Air Force officer, I understand intuitively the need for strong relations between Lakewood, Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Camp Murray. And last, as a history professor at Pierce College, I do understand the need for an educated citizenry that enables businesses to hire productive employees. As we move closer to the primary (August 5), I would encourage you to take the time to learn more about me and what I stand for. Please feel free to visit me at www.Facebook.com/JohnMSimpson31 or call me at (253) 414-4678. Thank you.
