The Daily Herald Editorial Board
"[Jared] Mead has moved quickly to build solid working relationships with a politically diverse but largely cooperative council... Mead has shown he counts on reliable information and thoughtful consideration of issues. During last month’s budget debate... Mead showed a commitment to continuing the discussion on community concerns about the county budget and policing: “We’re going to do this again. And we’re going to do it the right way. And we’re going to have some reforms,” Mead said."
"Mead has justified his nomination by party precinct leaders and the council’s unanimous appointment; voters can now give Mead a full year to further demonstrate his skills and commitment to the district and the county at large."
