Port of Edmonds candidate Chelsea Rudd hosting campaign kickoff July 24

Chelsea Rudd will officially launch her campaign for Port of Edmonds Commissioner, District 1, with a kickoff event on July 24 at Brigid’s Bottleshop. The event is set for 6-7:30 p. m. and is family-friendly, encouraging RSVPs from attendees. Rudd seeks to replace Janelle Cass, who took over the seat in 2023 after Angela Harris became the Port's executive director.

This election cycle features three out of five commissioner seats up for grabs, emphasizing the importance of voter engagement in local governance. The Port of Edmonds manages crucial maritime operations and economic activities that significantly affect the community. Rudd's initiative to host a family-oriented event reflects her commitment to inclusivity and outreach. Local residents will have the opportunity to learn more about her platform and engage directly with the candidate. By connecting with families, Rudd aims to build a strong support base ahead of the elections.
