ENDORSEMENTS
Adison Richards, Washington State House Representative:
"My friend, Stephen McDuffie, has proudly served our country—and now he’s ready to serve our city.
As a U.S. Army Reserve Captain and former active-duty service member, Stephen knows what it means to lead, listen, and put others first. After years of calling Gig Harbor home, raising his family here, and staying actively involved in the community, he’s stepping up with a fresh perspective, new ideas, and a deep commitment to working hard for all of us.
He’s served with integrity—now he’s ready to do the same for Gig Harbor City Council, Seat 2. Let’s support a leader who leads with service."
Billy Sehmel, PenMet Parks Commissioner
"I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Stephen McDuffie for several years, and I firmly believe he would be an excellent Council Member for the residents of Gig Harbor. As a lifelong resident of the area, I’m proud to endorse him for Gig Harbor City Council, Seat 2.
Stephen has a proven track record of serving both his country and his community with integrity and purpose. I’m confident he will approach this nonpartisan position with a focus on community needs, bringing fresh ideas, a strong sense of service, and a genuine commitment to the people of Gig Harbor.
His passion for parks and recreation is an added bonus, making him the ideal candidate to help enhance and protect the spaces that make our city special."
