It's Ibsen v. Hines for Tacoma mayor. Here's a Q&A with the candidates
This is a unique election year. Though Tacomans won’t be voting to elect the next president, they will be voting in four City Council elections and a mayor’s face, choosing leaders who will take control in January as the city undergoes immense transition.
With an interim city manager and interim police chief now in place, the new council will be involved in the process of hiring individuals to fill two jobs with high salaries and lots of eyes on them.
Then there’s the mayor’s race, which is down to current District 1 council member John Hines and former District 1 council member Anders Ibsen. It is the eighth most expensive race in the state this year, according to the Washington Public Disclosure Commission.
In their private lives, Ibsen is a realtor and managing broker at Windermere Professional Partners, a real estate brokerage, and Hines is an instructional facilitator for academic acceleration for Tacoma Public Schools.
