Summers-Kirby Announces Bid for Council
It feels like the November elections were just yesterday. Yet, the 2009 election cycle is now getting up to full speed ..
Becky Summers-Kirby has announced that she will run for Tacoma City Council (District 5) this Fall. She’ll be going for the South Tacoma seat that will be vacated by Connie Ladenburg. This will be her second run for Council.
So now we have Merritt for Mayor, Summers-Kirby for Council district 5 … who’s next?

TO’T for district 2.

Well you can be sure she’ll face one of the Ladenburg clan, after all somebody has to makes sure Connie’s precious trails get completed.

It is probably best for your own moral salvation that you don’t.
If one is not already corrupt when they go into politics, the politics will corrupt them.
Based on what I can guess of your personality (or the projected persona that is TOT), you’d be far happier in some sort of community action group rather than being mired down in the bogs of city council.

dont listen to him TOT, Tom Stenger kept his fiery disposition though several council terms.

Why am I not surprised at this? That’s right, she was practically giving a stump speech at the ranked choice voting meeting two weeks ago.

I don’t think the spot in district 2 is up for grabs till 2010 anyway.

yes it is up in 2010 and hence one must run in 2009, Connie is termed out. I think Becky is great, haven’t heard of any others even portending intrest. I don’t live in her district but she is someone who will work hard for all of us and tell the truth. She’s been around the political circut long enough to prove her integrity and work ethic to me. GO Becky Go!
