PRESS RELEASE - April 29, 2007

Bellingham City Councilman Gene Knutson announces he is leaving the Mayors Race:

It is with much sadness and a very heavy heart that have to leave the Mayors race because of ongoing back problems. Having spent the last 5 days in the hospital it has become clear to me that I will not be able to endure a rough and tumble campaign season.

I will be undergoing 6-8 weeks of recovery and it would have been impossible to maintain  a very busy schedule. I will be off of my feet for a week and will return to my council duties on May 7th. I look forward to getting back to city council duties as soon as I can. My goal now is to get as healthy as possible after 5 back surgeries and a lot of pain I have to focus on my family and myself right now.

Thanks to all who have been supporting me it was a humbling experience.

Contact info 734-4686.

 

 

 

"Bellingham is a wonderful place to live, I live the Bellingham dream everyday.
I want that for all the citizens of this great city"

Thank you to all who attended my fundraiser. It was a great night.
Gene.

I am running for Mayor because I feel so fortunate to have lived the Bellingham Dream all my life.  I want to give back to this community what it has given me for the last 51 years - a place to live and work in this jewel of a city.

During my tenure on the Council I have had to take tough votes on a whole range of issues.  I have never wavered, wandered, or waffled on any decision that I had to make.  I don’t test the political wind before I vote - I do what I believe is right for this community!

Just look around and see some of the results of what we have done over the last 14 years: 

  • The Farmers Market

  • Downtown Renovation Project

  • Parks and Trails Systems

  • Greenways

  • Civic Field Remodel

  • SportsPlex Ice Irena

  • Arne Hanna Aquatic Center

  • Taylor Street Dock

  • More Baseball Fields

  • The Beginnings of The New Waterfront

  • Skateboard Park

We have accomplished a lot together and we can do more.  I pledge as Mayor I will continue to work with you to keep this great city on the right path.  I ask that you take this journey with me.  I ask for your vote and support.  Thank you.

 "The best is yet to come!"
