Thom Macfarlane should run for Federal Way City Council
by christruppner
Last year during the 2012 Election for State House of Representatives voters were introduced to a candidate by the name of Thom Macfarlane. Voters got to watch as this candidate showcased his role as a very loving, caring, and involved member of the greater Federal Way community. From donating his time in schools, to addressing tough issues such as the lack of adequate mental healthcare for our veterans and citizens alike, Thom fought the good fight.
Despite many good hearted attempts to win voters Thom Macfarlane went on to lose the State House of Representatives election in the Primary. Despite his loss the Federal Way Mirror went on to say that Macfarlane would make a good candidate for future election. In May 2013, three Federal Way city council seats will become available for election. Given Macfarlane’s past record it is my deepest belief that Mr. Macfarlane should consider running for the Federal Way City Council. In his last election he became a well known for his community contributions, his role in helping people find work, and as an overall well-rounded candidate. I am asking that Thom Macfarlane enter the race for Federal Way City Council.
Chris, After the scene that Thom and his campaign manager created over the 30th Dist nominating process for State House he lost my attention for a long time. The rules are the rules and Thom seem to think that those rules should be amended for him,unfortunately life circumstances are not a reason to amend the rules.
I think there were some equally qualified party interviewees that tried for a spot this last weekend at city council that would be a better choice.
Maybe if Thom was truly interested in council he would have taken last Saturday to make his case and use that as a free trial balloon, maybe something came up..Again

Thank you for your comment I always welcome them. I am not sure what went on during the nominating process but I am sure all Thom wanted was a chance to plead his case to the PCO of which I am a member. To answer your second Question I am not speaking on Thom behave I have no idea if he is truly interested in running for a city council seat I am just throwing a idea out there. I love reading your blog and can not wait for the next one.
Please have a wonderful day
Chris
