We are writing to voice our support for City Council Position No. 2 candidate Luke Distelhorst, who is running to retain his current seat on the Edmonds City Council.
In just over one year on council, Luke has barely skipped a beat transitioning from an active and successful volunteer presence in our community to making a significant difference in city government during a most challenging year. He has accomplished much in a short time to the benefit of our whole community, including some of our most vulnerable residents.
He authored the “Housing and Relief Fund” to support Edmonds residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in $580,000 of Federal CARES funding being distributed to community members in need

Janelle Cass
The race for Edmonds City Council Position 2 has just become more crowded, as council candidate Will Chen says he has decided to seek that seat.
Chen announced his candidacy in January but at the time had not chosen which position to file for.
Chen who runs a CPA firm just off Edmonds’ Highway 99, will face Luke Distelhorst, who was appointed to fill out the remainder of Edmonds Mayor Mike Nelson’s Position 2 term and is running to retain the seat. Also running for the position is small businesses owner Janelle Cass.
Chen sais his decision to run for Position 2 is motivated by a desire and commitment to add diversity, passion and practical experience to the council at a time when communities and businesses across the nation are struggling to address social and systemic inequities, and are hurting financially from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
