Mark Greene’s Campaign for Mayor of Federal Way
Mark Greene, a legal assistant and Marine Corps veteran, has recently announced that he is running for Mayor of Federal Way. Greene has lived in Federal Way for eight non-consecutive years, and has been involved in a variety of community activities, especially his own organization, Democracy in Election Process, as well as the Puget Sound Blood Center (which goes by a new name, now): an organization that gives vital assistance to hospitals and medical centers. Democracy in Election Process helps citizens with civic affairs such as registration & voting, legal matters, and providing information to citizens who want to run for office.
Mark Greene, founder of the Revived Citizens Party (an offshoot of the old Citizens Party of the 1970s and 1980s), and picking up where the old Citizens Party left off, is environmentally friendly, including a platform that would greatly improve the natural beauty of Federal Way, with pro-recycling and anti-littering policies, and preserving Federal Way’s woodlands and wetlands. Greene is also running on a practical management platform that rejects boondoggles, extravagant spending, and outlandish expansionary ideas. Mark Greene’s philosophy as mayor is agreeing with those citizens of Federal Way, who he believes are the majority, that want to keep our city’s size more-or-less as it presently is.
Greene, who considers himself a commoner, is running a Commoner-oriented mayoral campaign, as the Revived Citizens Party’s motto is tradition, progress and ecology (pro-environment), and rejects far left radicalism and far right trickle-down (laissez faire) economics, as both of those farthest sides of the political spectrum pretty much collaborate with each other to meet their own interests. Federal Way’s City Hall is a perfect example of that type of collaboration, as politicians and activists on differing sides of the coin create a kind of strange bedfellows that bring economic and social havoc to the Commoner. Greene’s campaign, named All-American Relief, will have none of that collaboration, and if elected, will increase the number of police officers in Federal Way, advocate for required ethics classes in schools, and will work for a People’s Economics, a Friendly Environment, and an American-centric, traditionalist outlook.
As I related in a former post, I will hire somebody with former city administration/management experience to be Chief of Staff if elected Mayor. High on the list for being interviewed, if he's interested, will be John Starbard, former City Manager of Newcastle (I believe he's presently doing some kind of management work for King County). Starbard was one of the few politicos in Newcastle that treated people's candidates with respect. I will probably interview 4 or 5 candidates for Chief of Staff.
Possible candidates to be interviewed for posts, generally:
Chief of Staff: John Starbard (former City Manager of Newcastle)
City Attorney: Dawn Reitan (Newcastle City Attorney)
Police Chief: Melinda Irvine (Newcastle Police Chief)
Public Works Director: Mark Rigos (former Newcastle Public Works Director)
-- Mark Greene (F.W. Exploratory Mayoral Committee)
