Joshua Freed - Candidate for Governor of Washington
|
Program Details
Joshua Freed is a successful small business owner who has declared candidacy for Governor of Washington. He founded his homebuilding company during the beginning of the worst economic downturns our country had seen since the Great Depression. He built just five homes per year at the start, but grew his business into one of the premier, locally-owned firms in the region. He'll describe his perspective, qualifications, and ideas for effectively solving the many challenges that confront us.
Mr. Freed was elected to the Bothell City Council in 2005 and, later, was chosen by his colleagues to lead the City of Bothell as its Mayor. During his tenure, he oversaw one of the greatest revitalizations of a downtown in state history drawing a remarkable $450 million in private investment.
A lifelong Washingtonian, Joshua is the son of a nurse and a federal service diplomat. After graduation from Inglemoor High School in Kenmore and Seattle Pacific University, he married in college sweetheart, Lindie. They have five children.
