Tolling I-90 and the Economic Effects for the Eastside


*Conrad Lee*		*Kevin Wallace*		*Mike Cero*		*Kevin Scheid*

Conrad Lee is Mayor of Bellevue, and has served on the Bellevue City Council since 1993, one of the few Chinese-Americans in elected politics. Born in Kunming, Yunnan, in 1939, Conrad lost his father at age 8. He moved with his mother to Hong Kong at age ten and lived there through high school. He came to the U.S. to attend Seattle Pacific College and later received his degree from University of Michigan in electrical engineering. After working for Boeing and then as a stockbroker, he was first elected to Bellevue City Council in 1993 and has since been re-elected five times. Conrad was elected Deputy Mayor in January 2010 and most recently Mayor in 2012.

Kevin Wallace has served on the Bellevue City Council since 2009. A strong advocate for reducing traffic congestion, he serves on the Eastside Transportation Partnership Steering Committee, Light Rail Leadership group, and the Bellevue Parks and Community Services board. He is president and COO of Wallace Properties. He previously served as a Bellevue Transportation Commissioner, chair of the Transportation Committee for Bellevue Chamber of Commerce, and Transportation Committee chair for the Bellevue Downtown Association. Bellevue has not raised tax rates since his election to the Council.

Mike Cero was elected to the Mercer Island City Council in 2007 and ran unopposed in 2011. Mike is very active in the community volunteering in multiple Parent's Associations, Rotary and VFW. He serves on the Renton Airport Advisory Committee, the Mercer Island Design Commission and Disability Board and the King County Flood Control District Advisory Committee. He has a very strong record of closely scrutinizing city budgets and enforcing open and transparent government.

Kevin Scheid is retired Coast Guard Captain and a management and leadership consultant who is running for Mercer Island City Council with tolling as a central campaign issue. He believes that it is bad policy for the country, state, region and for Mercer Island, and that there are other and better solutions. I-90 tolling is an issue of critical importance to the region since it is the front line of a battle to toll all freeways in the Seattle area.
