Mark Greene for Council
Campaign Committee
I announced my candidacy for the Newcastle City
Council on December 10, 2012 through my blog, Northern Pacific Report, under the
blog post, "Officially Running." As a citizen of Newcastle and a candidate, I
have promised never to support merging Newcastle with Bellevue -- or any other
city. This is the Anti-annexation stance that I have maintained ever since this
issue came up at the September 4th, 2012 Council Meeting. The importance of
keeping our unique stature as a city is a major reason of why I decided to run,
though not the only. If elected to the council this year, I will focus
on infrastructure, safety and environmental issues. I will probably be
better schooled on city issues than any non-incumbent running for council this
year since I have attended about 80% of all
council,
planning and
park commission meetings since
Labor Day (the unofficial end of summer). My experience includes a
college degree (majoring in a legal assistant program), decades
of experience as a political activist, including running political
organizations, the Party of Commons and Democracy In Election Process, which
helps citizens with voting registration and anyone with information about civic
affairs and general law, and I am a capacious reader of political, historical,
and environmental books. I am presently self-employed or temporarily
contracted as a legal assistant, and also keep busy running my
non-profit organizations (Party of Commons and Democracy In Election Process).
