-Hello, I'm Port of Seattle
Commissioner Fred Felleman,
and I want to thank you for
the opportunity to serve
on the Port Commission
the past four years.
I came to the Port
with over 30 years' experience
as a killer whale biologist
and environmental consultant,
working to protect the health
of our marine environment
and those dependent on it.
As Commission Vice President and
founding chair of the Energy and
Sustainability Committee,
I worked hard to reduce the Port's
greenhouse gas emissions
while expanding opportunities
for meaningful careers
in King County.
I'm working to support
our quality of life by securing
environmental safeguards
during major transformations
at the airport and seaport
that expand the economic benefits
of trade, tourism, fishing,
and recreation. I've significantly
shaped changes in the Port's culture
through the hiring of a new
executive director
and championing the creation
of the new position,
Senior Director of Equity,
Diversity, and Inclusion.
With your support in my next term,
we'll continue to be
a regional leader
through the reduction
of the Port's greenhouse gas
emissions;
work with business and labor
to promote green innovations
while protecting our working
waterfront and industrial lands
to stimulate an economy
that works for everyone;
expand opportunities
for women and minority-owned
businesses while seeking
environmental and economic justice
for disproportionately
impacted communities;
inspire youth to pursue
Port-related jobs of the future
by championing innovation,
apprenticeships, and internships;
and, of course,
be accessible and responsive
to community interests.
I will continue to champion
Port policies rooted
in fiscal responsibility,
ecological integrity,
and social equity.
I'm proudly endorsed
by many labor unions,
environmental organizations,
elected and community leaders,
as well as many Democratic
legislative districts
throughout King County.
I'm Port of Seattle
Commissioner Fred Felleman.
I respectfully ask for your vote.
Thank you,
