My choice for 5th ward for Eureka City Council

These quotes are from an article in today's Times-Standard.

I have a good grasp of the issues of the city of Eureka, and I just believe that I could do a good job,” Albin said.

He wrote in his application that the biggest challenges facing Eureka include hiring a new city manager, and being more effective in addressing crime, the homeless population and illegal drug use.

"I think I would be a good addition to the current council,” Smith said. “I'd bring a different perspective to the council based on my business and the type of community service I've done in the past and am currently doing.”

In his application, Smith wrote he would love to see a diverse, vibrant economy that is less dependent on tourism and the region's “underground economy.”

I would be happy with either Chet Albin or Barry Smith and while I know both of them, I have known Chet longer and better.  I also feel the issues and challenges he refers to are the ones I would like to see the entire council address. Chet Albin is my choice for 5th Ward and I hope that is the recommendation made by Mayor Jager to City Council.
