I came to know Jim for a few years now. He along with Police Chief Ken Thomas came to our community for support to build a new police building and enhance policing capability. He comes forward whenever we have any public safety issues. His dedication to the services of the immigrant and minorities are commendable. He never declined any invitations to our community events. He runs small businesses and committed to promoting small business based economy of the city. His son is a veteran Marine. I support his bid for the City of Kent Mayor.
