It’s with great pleasure and confidence that I endorse Ken Oberman for Kirkland City Council. His authentic, warm and engaging manner makes everyone comfortable the first time you meet him. He is in a phase of life where he truly wants to serve the residents, workers and patrons of Kirkland, NOT the external special interests we’ve seen play such a significant role in influencing Council policy decisions recently. Ken brings a fresh perspective; priorities that match what voters want and a laudable professional background to inform his decision making. Elect Ken for Kirkland! — Jennifer Loy
Houghton Neighborhood Association Leader
The City of Kirkland is in dire need of leaders who can see beyond wishful thinking. Too many of the council's proposals over the past several years have failed to consider the infrastructure needed to make their dreams come true. Ken Oberman has the business experience in managing a large company to bring creative, practical and affordable ways to help our city grow. It's time that our city be run by thoughtful leaders, not politicians. — Chuck Pilcher
