Beyond the Voters Pamphlet Meet City Council Candidate Marcus Nunez

Marcus Nunez, a 23-year-old candidate for Everett City Council District 3, developed an interest in politics while watching the news during the 2007 recession. He stands out as the only challenger willing to oppose incumbents in his district, despite having no endorsements. Nunez understands the concerns about his age and inexperience but emphasizes his strong connection to Everett, where he has lived his entire life. He highlights that the council position demands a significant time commitment, which he is prepared to give as a full-time role. The candidate is particularly passionate about restoring safety in city parks by advocating for the return of park rangers, especially after recent incidents that have left community spaces unsafe.

Nunez expresses concern for the youth, noting that the absence of a safe playground affects their willingness to engage in park activities. He aims to reassure residents that his motivations stem from a genuine desire to improve the city. As the election approaches, Nunez’s focus remains on addressing local concerns and fostering community spirit in Everett.
