Solan for Pierce County

Rob McKenna

Former Washington State Attorney General

“Personal safety and property crime are important concerns for Pierce County residents, yet the County lacks enough Deputies – especially in its unincorporated areas.

Mike Solan is a 27-year law enforcement officer. His leadership experience and public safety expertise will drive better Sheriff’s Department staffing and practices in District 7 and throughout Pierce County.”

JT Wilcox

Former Minority Leader in the Washington House of Representatives

Doug Richardson

Former Pierce County Council Chair

“This election is critical for the future of Pierce County. District 7 deserves a Councilmember who knows the communities on both sides of the bridge, understands the importance of public safety, and recognizes how the County Council’s current policies and spending priorities are affecting working families and local businesses. We need a leader who will bring common sense, accountability, and responsible leadership back to county government. That’s why it’s so important to elect Mike to the County Council. Pierce County can’t afford not to.”

Bruce Dammeier

Former Pierce County Executive

“As County Executive for eight years, I was proud our team led with smart budgeting and fiscal discipline. We understood that every dollar Pierce County spent belonged to the taxpayers, and we treated it with the care and respect it deserved. What concerns me about the current County Council is that they are spending far more than the county is taking in. That path is simply not sustainable and will lead to serious financial problems if we don’t act now. That’s why it’s so important to elect responsible leaders like Mike Solan. Mike will restore fiscal sanity, make tough but necessary decisions, and protect taxpayers’ hard-earned money.”
