I support the re-election of Ed Revell to the Richland City Council. Ed has considerable experience in federal, state and local government having spent years as a Bonneville Power account executive and working with local public power entities. Ed is well respected and known as a man of wisdom and integrity. His commitment to open and transparent government, being fully accountable to the public for decisions made, and staying well informed of the issues is something that we all want from our elected officials. Ed is without equal in fulfilling this commitment.

Ed Revell brings leadership to the city. He has served five years on the Richland City Council, the last three years as mayor pro tem. Ed serves as chairman of the Hanford Communities, an association of local government entities that monitors cleanup at Hanford and on the Energy Communities Alliance, a Washington, D.C., based organization that follows the cleanup activities of DOE, and makes sure that our voice continues to be heard. Ed serves a vital interest in this community as Richland seeks to make productive use of former DOE properties, and build a post Hanford future.

Please join with me in voting to return Ed Revell to the Richland City Council.

John C. Darrington, Richland
