JON SCANLON for Whatcom County Council At-Large

Jon Scanlon

My name is Jon Scanlon and I live in Bellingham with my wife Jennifer—an obstetrician—and our two dogs, who love to join in on outdoor adventures across Whatcom County. I hope to earn your vote for
Whatcom County Council.

My commitment to public service is deeply ingrained. I was raised by a tight-knit family with a history of community and public service. I took their lessons to heart and committed to a career of making the world a
better place, which led to my 20 year career in public policy working for: the U.S. State Department, Oxfam America, a U.S. Senator, a Governor, and consulting with conservation nonprofits and Indigenous
communities.

Now, I’m running to represent you on Whatcom County Council. I plan to make progress on homelessness, clean water for salmon and people, climate impacts including flood resilience, and a healthy economy that
includes affordable housing, healthcare, and childcare.  As a first-time candidate, it’s my honor to be endorsed by organizations and people I respect. Here are a few of my endorsements -the full list is at electjonscanlon.com : Lummi Nation, Nooksack Indian Tribe, Bellingham/Whatcom Fire Fighters Union IAFF Local 106, Teamsters Local 231, IBEW 191, Cascadia Daily News, Whatcom Democrats,Senator Sharon Shewmake, County Councilmembers Carol Frazey, Barry Buchanan, Todd Donovan, and Kaylee Galloway, County Executive Satpal Sidhu, and many others.
