Lyndon Heywood Announces Run for Bellevue City Council Position 2

Lyndon Heywood, a nine-year resident of the Lake Hills neighborhood, has announced a run for Bellevue City Council for position 2, the seat currently held by Mayor Conrad Lee.

Heywood, who was born in England and became a U.S. Citizen in 2011, is a graphic artist and a member of Redmond's Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Board and a volunteers at Phantom Lake School.

Vandana Slatter and Lynne Robinson have both announced campaigns for position 6, which is the seat held by Councilman Don Davidson. Also up for election this year is position 4, currently held by Councilman Kevin Wallace.

The 2013 candidate campaign filing period is May 13-17 for online and in person, according to King County Elections. The filing period by mail is open, and the deadline is May 17.

Heywood's announcement is as follows:

Lyndon has been a citizen of Bellevue and Lake Hills since 2004.  Born in Yorkshire, England in 1972, Lyndon received a degree in Printing and Manufacturing from Manchester Metropolitan University.  He lived in the UK and Scandinavia before moving to the USA in 2003 and becoming a US citizen in late 2011. After being laid off last year, Lyndon tried unsucessfully to find work in his own city before joining his current Woodinville employer as a Graphic Artist.  A married father of two daughters, Lyndon represents both the modern and traditional faces of our city. 

Lyndon is a member of Redmond's Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Board, its Bicycle Wayfinding Subcommittee, and volunteers at Phantom Lake School.  He is running for council to demonstrate that Bellevue's government can still be an effective extension of its citizens and to promote increased co-operation across an ever changing Eastside.
