"As a voting resident of Bellingham, I am delighted to endorse Michelle Magee for city council. Michelle’s insight, integrity and intelligence make me confident that she will help to make the best choices for our city." ~Barbara J. Lehman, Ph.D.
"Michelle said that she believes that you should volunteer for those things which call out to you. I see her answering that call in so many ways. She is now hearing a call to step up and be of service to the City of Bellingham. She will be such a strong force of good for this city if elected." ~Jenny Bowefield
"I endorse Michelle Magee for City Council.
In the 10 years or so that I have known Michelle, I have seen her move from a very difficult situation to a place of personal strength and wisdom. She is an effective advocate, a clear and intelligent thinker, a fearless and wise mother and a great teacher of good values. We will have a powerful advocate on the Council to represent us on some very thorny issues, if Michelle is successful in her quest to be on City Council." ~Barbara Gilday
"I offer my endorsement to Michelle Magee for Bellingham City Council member. Michelle is a civic-minded, community-minded, hard-working single mother and a teacher. She is active in the community and in her volunteerism.
Michelle is also well-versed on issues facing Bellingham and its City Council, and also Whatcom County. Her communication skills are excellent and she is able to get along with, and work well with, many different types of personalities which is invaluable for a city councilmember who would be working with fellow council members, the mayor, and city employees.
I am thrilled that Michelle has decided to apply for the Bellingham City Council position vacated by Cathy Lehman. The City of Bellingham and its citizens would be lucky to have Michelle on the Bellingham City Council."
~Sandy Robson
"It's refreshing to see a candidate that I can vote for in full confidence for her integrity instead of the usual choice of 'the lesser of two evils!'" ~Lauralee Carbone

Like me, she loves this town and has all the gumption necessary to act with compassion and intelligence to maintain the awesome parts and fix the broken ones. I thoroughly endorse Michelle Magee for City Council!" -Jackie Webley
"Michelle is a rare combination of clear thinking, dedicated activism, rich compassion, and absolute integrity. As long as I have known her she has actively worked for the public good in Bellingham. If elected to the Council I believe she would be a vital and powerful advocate for all of us." ~Angela Polito
"I believe that Michelle Magee can help improve Bellingham. She will not be distracted by ancillary issues. She cares about the environment and local business. Let's get on with it!" ~Jed Reynolds
"So exciting to see a Mama and her girls out to change the world." ~Jessica Park
"She is smart, informed, and intelligently speaks her mind. She has already worked hard to improve her community in a multitude of ways. We have been waiting for someone with her unique energy, practicality, and compassion and will be lucky to have her as a Bellingham City Council member!" ~Dena Jensen
"I'm endorsing Michelle Magee for Bellingham City Council. She represents just the kind of forward looking/ thinking Bellingham needs. Michelle has spent countless hours learning about the issues that affect us on local as well as global levels." ~Linda Darks
"I know Michelle will do the best job for the future of Bellingham because of the love for her children's future well being and her ability to see things from a third person perspective will make her a great person to work with when making tough decisions together. She's a Bellinghamster by choice, as most of you are."
~Terry Garrett
"Michelle is a person of passionate views and an extremely hard worker. We would be very fortunate to have her on the council." ~Barbara Ellis-Quinn
"I have known Michelle for many years, and watched her live her life dynamically - in the community, and raising her four girls. She represents what I would like for the City to be and do." ~Marian Beddill
"Her passion for service is unparalleled, and she offers a distinctive vision for the city, its needs, and its future."
~Chris Loar
"I have had the privilege of working with Michelle Magee on numerous causes in support of our community over the last several years and I have the utmost respect for her, I have witnessed her capabilities and effectiveness in dealing with people as individuals and in groups. I feel that she would be an exceptional representative for the citizens of Bellingham. Anyone that really knows Michelle can tell you that she will be among the first to step up and stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of any injustice that threatens the health, happiness or freedoms that most of us take for granted.
Please join your friends and neighbors in supporting someone that will be there to support us on city council."
~Scott A. Sanderson

"As a Sunnyland Homeowner, I'm writing to express my heartfelt confidence in Michelle Magee as a qualified candidate for the Ward 3 City Council appointment. She's an active, engaged and collaborative leader."
~Elizabeth Jennings
"I endorse Michelle Magee for the Ward 3 City Council appointment. She is a vital and active member of our community and consistently works towards bettering conditions in our environment and towards strengthening protections for families that do not fall within the social construct of what is to be considered "normal" I think she would be a true asset to our community and I look forward to her appointment on the City Council." ~Heidi Ohana
"I wish to express my strong support for Michelle Magee for the Ward 3 City Council appointment. Michelle is a strong, smart, and caring person who will help steer the City forward with the intelligence and values that the people of Bellingham share." ~Alex Czopp

~Randolph McNeely
"Michelle is an active, well informed and passionate member of our community who would greatly benefit our city. Her compassionate civic dedication is an inspiration and she has and will continue to lead by example." ~Angela Johnson
"In my dealings with Michelle Magee, I have found a caring person that I feel will bring the voice of the voiceless to city government. As an activist, she will bring vitality and openness to council as she interacts with members, the public, and staff. As a woman, Michelle also, has the compassionate sense of listening which is needed so much for a city to achieve a sense of place." ~Charles Law
"Recently I met Ms Michelle Magee and had quite a lengthy conversation with her. I found Ms Magee to be a GREAT listener. In addition to her other qualities, GREAT listener's bring a valuable "tool to the table."
Great listener's are able to:
-
Expand their capacity and knowledge
-
Make great team players; reduce inter-personal conflicts, and stimulate conversation
-
Save time and money
-
Detect and solve problems quickly
-
Bestow respect and trust
-
Encourage and motivate
-
Create an environment for negotiations while lessening resistance
-
Strengthen relationships...
Ms Magee is the type of person that we need in any form of American government." ~James Sanderson
"Integrity, intelligence, insight and purpose. I endorse Michelle Magee!" ~Kimber Langton
"Michelle is a local citizen who loves this community and actively seeks out ways to make this the best, most liveable city for us, for our children and our children's children. We need her voice on the city council."
~Heidi Alford
