Council.
- Dave Upthegrove, State Rep., 33rd Legislative District - Julia Patterson
King County Council Member - Tina Orwall
State Rep. 33rd District - "Matt Pina understands many of challenges that the city
of Des Moines faces whether it be redeveloping the downtown corridor or
building a stronger economic base for the city to prosper. As a former
school board director Matt understands the importance of leadership and
regional partnerships to solve difficult community issues. His solution
oriented, collaborative approach to addressing community challenges will
serve him well as a city council member."
- John Welch, Superintendent, Highline Public Schools - The citizens of Des Moines will benefit from the type of
leadership Matt Pina has proven he possesses. Matt is grounded in our
community and his vision for future generations makes him the best choice
for Des Moines. He can contribute the same common sense and vision to their
city that he dedicated to the Highline School District for eight years.
- Bernie Dorsey President, Highline School Board - "Matt Pina brings many talents to elective office. He is
a superb long range planner and thinker. He understands finance, budgets and
taxes. He communicates well with the public. He cares deeply about his
community and its residents. He is an experienced public servant."
- Dr. Joe McGeehan, Superintendent, Highline Schools 1994-05 - “I know that Matt will always do what facts
convince him is best for the citizens of Des Moines.”
- Ed Pina, Des Moines City Councilmember - “ I would be happy to endorse Matthew Pina’s candidacy
for Des Moines City Council. Matt has been a strong supporter of children in
the Des Moines Community for years. He’s raised a son in this city and
supported other children during his time on the Highline School Board and
after. Matt has also been in the community for years, much longer than I
would know. This is the town that he’s loved and lived in all his life.
Most of all, Matt would bring a stability to the Des Moines City Council that I believe hasn’t been there for some time. He has a great understanding of how to make systems work quickly and efficiently, and a business mindset that works well in making the hard decisions that go with managing a city’s resources.
Truly, if he is not chosen by this community, that is a loss for all of us. “
- Michael D. Spear, Highline School Board Director & 14 year resident of Des Moines
