I am writing in support of Michael Sealfon for Kent City Council Position No. 7. I have known Michael and his wife, Carolyn, for a number of years and count them among my closest friends so my view is certainly biased.
However, if you disregard my bias and view Michael strictly from his qualifications, there is simply no other choice. Michael is a retired colonel from the U.S. Army and served his country well and honorably in Vietnam. He worked as a Lab Manager for Lab Corp., one of the largest medical laboratories in the United States. He is a professor and program manager for the Laboratory Technology Department at Renton Technical Institute.
Michael has a Ph.D. in laboratory technology and has published in a number of professional journals. He is active as a pilot for the Coast Guard Auxiliary and flies missions patrolling the Puget Sound to protect our borders and insure the safety of boaters on our waterways.
Michael is very active in the American Legion, as a volunteer for the Citizens Advisory Council for the Kent Fire Department and in various emergency response and management capacities.
Michael would add a depth of experience, education and training to the Kent City Council. His commitment to our city and its citizens will serve us well.
Michael Sealfon is clearly the best choice for Kent City Council position No. 7.
