Over 50 percent of Vancouver’s residents rent, yet we don’t have anyone to represent renters on city council. After watching the Vancouver City Council candidate interviews, I will be supporting Mike Pond for Position 6.

Mike shared his experiences as a renter. He also demonstrated a clear understanding of what the city should do with the Affordable Housing Fund in order to keep people in their homes, and get those currently without housing into homes.

Our city has a lot of work to do when it comes to caring for our most vulnerable, and Mike Pond can help lead that conversation.

Remember the saying, “dress for the job you want”? Mike Pond has been doing the job he wants, for the last five years that I’ve known him. Mike has attended hundreds of city and county council meetings, neighborhood associations, and been present at a myriad of other community functions. Mike has his finger on Vancouver’s pulse and has a vast knowledge and understanding of what our community needs. I’ve never met anyone who is as invested in (and loves) their community more than him. #VotePond.
