Both candidates running for Position 1 on the Lynnwood, Wash., City Council—Dio Boucsieguez and Derica Escamilla—completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey. These survey responses allow voters to hear directly from candidates about what motivates them to run for office.
All survey respondents are asked to tell voters about their three key campaign messages. In Lynnwood, both candidates listed public safety as one of those key points. Excerpts are shown below.
Boucsieguez:
“I commit to investing in our Lynnwood Municipal Courts, Lynnwood Police, and regional public safety partnerships. I’ll advocate for after school and vocational programs, and the return of School Resource Officers to resolve youth violence.”
Escamilla:
“Everyone deserves to feel safe—whether they’re walking to school, shopping for clothes, or heading home after work. Real safety doesn’t start with fear—it starts with smart investments in the basics that keep our neighborhoods strong.”
