Richard May has announced that he will run for a seat on Blaine’s city council.
In a May 6 press release, May said that he will run for the ward 1 seat, which is currently held by Steve Lawrenson.
May is currently serving his third term on Blaine’s planning commission. May served on the Blaine parks board before serving as a planning commissioner. He also serves on the board of directors of a dropout prevention organization, Communities in Schools.
“In 2014, when I ran for and won the one year Whatcom County charter position, I was humbled and honored to have gotten the top votes in all Blaine voting neighborhoods,” said May. “As people have encouraged me to run for city council this year, I am committed to hearing everyone’s concerns, taking a more proactive approach and digging a little deeper for the best outcomes.”
