Video Voters Guide Statement of Candidate Click Here to View the You will need Written Voters' Pamphlet Statement Submitted by Candidate The voice of reason — that's what Margaret Pageler brings to the Seattle City Council. Now more than ever, we need Margaret's experience, stability and reliability. She's the one we count on as a work horse, not a show horse. Margaret doesn't get headlines, she just gets results! Her track record speaks for itself; her hard work has changed Seattle for the better. Public safety — From getting guns off our streets to ensuring police protect our privacy as well as our people, Margaret has made our city safer. These are not just statistics; they are personal tragedies averted! Pocketbook protection — Margaret's the sound voice of reason questioning city budgets and spending programs to make sure we get the best efficiencies for our tax dollars. She protected City Light rate payers by blowing the whistle on the scheme to impose California-style energy deregulation in this state. In times like these, we can't afford not to have Margaret's fiscal vigilance. Public health — By working to increase public health in the school place, work place and public places, Margaret is making prevention as important a priority as treatment and ensuring Seattle is prepared for any crisis. Margaret's hard work, perseverance, and ability to successfully work with others salvaged critical health care services for those with no health care coverage. Margaret has proven true to the neighborhood interests that first elected her, while at the same time winning the confidence and endorsement of the Alki Foundation, Seattle's business leaders. After the bubble years of irrational exuberance, local leaders welcome Margaret's balanced judgment in city hall. For Margaret's endorsements, click on www.margaretpageler.com. Former school teacher and lawyer, mother of four grown fans and 40-year spouse to John Pageler, Margaret provides harmony on this contentious City Council. Fiercely dedicated to broad public interest, not narrow special interests, Margaret is the institutional memory on a council prone to a new idea every week. Her reasoned voice bridges the divide between council and mayor. Margaret's collaborative skills won her the Municipal League's 2001 Regional Leadership Award for her success in creating agreements among suburban and county elected officials to protect our environment. Margaret Pageler serves us with heart, smarts, integrity…to find real solutions! We need her now!
