Puyallup needs steady, experienced leadership—and Mayor Jim Kastama has delivered. He is the only candidate in District 1 endorsed by the Puyallup Police Association, the officers who know firsthand what it takes to keep our community safe. Their trust in Jim’s leadership speaks volumes—and so can ours.

A lifelong Puyallup resident, Puyallup High School graduate, and former Washington State Senator, Jim has dedicated his life to serving the city he calls home. When crime and homelessness were on the rise, he stepped up—hiring 10 new police officers, expanding treatment programs, and leading an innovative solution for a new Public Safety Building that saved taxpayers approximately $30 million.

Jim’s leadership extends beyond public safety. He has been a strong advocate for Puyallup’s seniors by improving services, accessibility, and community safety. He has revitalized downtown—transforming empty storefronts into a thriving hub of shops, restaurants, and events like the Farmers’ Market, while also securing 800 free parking spaces for easier access. At City Hall, he leads with discipline and focus, balancing the budget without major tax increases and prioritizing efficient, responsible government.

The results speak for themselves: over 90% of residents say Puyallup offers a high quality of life—nearly double the regional average. That’s not a coincidence. That’s Mayor Jim Kastama’s leadership at work.

Mayor Kastama is the clear choice. Let’s re-elect him and keep Puyallup safe, strong, and thriving. To request a sign or to volunteer, please fill out the form below and someone will get back with you shortly.
