Below are the exact questions Jeff poses so listeners (and voters!) can jump straight to the answers they need:Who is Doug Peterson? Tell us about your background and ministry at Faith Lutheran. Why run now? Gas-card conversations with unhoused neighbors sparked your interest in council—how so? Homelessness at Brewer Park: What short- and long-term solutions do you support? Emergency housing & “mitigation” sites: Could a bus-served shelter outside downtown work? Migrant & immigrant outreach: Are we doing enough—and what does CIELO add? Government that listens: How will you build trust when many say ‘City Hall tunes us out’? Compromise without gridlock: Can seven council voices find common ground? Small-business vitality & housing permits: What’s City Hall’s role in cutting red tape? Downtown identity: Timber town, shellfish hub—or something new? Green space & walkability: How do we unite uptown and downtown? Budgets & boards: Which committees match your HR-and-finance skill set? Faith & public office: How does church-state separation guide your votes? Fun facts: Jogging, hiking—and the best cookies in Shelton. Why Shelton? Small-town heart, big natural beauty. Recorded June 2025 at Marmo; election primary is August 5, 2025.#DougPeterson #SheltonCityCouncil #HousingSolutions #Homelessness #SmallBusinessSupport #MigrantOutreach #FaithAndPolitics #SheltonWA #CommunityEngagement #2025Election","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8b4aqzT8tkdH6MLi186ujKO11Bhjd2UG29GWtIKSvFE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yM2Nh/YzMyMmYwODliZGZh/Nzk1ZTVjNjIzOGZm/NGVkNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
