Four years ago, the people of Whatcom County supported me in my campaign to become County Executive. I am very grateful for that trust, and I have worked tirelessly to fulfill the promises I made then.

I sincerely believe that Whatcom County is the best place to raise a family, and I am working to make sure that remains true for many generations to come. I have served for the past 10 years with a motto that “good ideas don’t belong to any one party” and “we have more in common than what divides us.”

Prior to becoming Whatcom County Executive, I served as a Whatcom County Council member for five years, served as a Dean of Engineering at Bellingham Technical College, and worked as a professional engineer and senior business executive. I am a Fulbright Scholar, an engineer with MBA degree and have worked in industry for 40 years.

I came to this country 45 years ago with five dollars and three degrees. I am grateful to my adopted country, and this is my way to give back to my community by serving as your local government representative. My wife, Mundir, and I have been married for nearly 45 years, have lived in Lynden for 35 years, and our 3 sons attended and graduated from Meridian schools. I grew up in India and spent time working in the petroleum industry in Canada before moving to Whatcom County. Read more   www.votesatpalsidhu.com
