Our Latest Advertiser, Chris Alexander, Says: “Business As Usual Isn’t Working!”

“Business as usual isn’t working. It is time for a change!”

So says our latest Waterland Blog Advertiser, Chris Alexander.

Here’s more from his website:

“I am a new face in politics, but I am not new to Des Moines. I am a local real estate agent, a father, and a student at Highline Community College. Most importantly, I am a veteran number-cruncher and a tireless worker.”

WLB sat down with Chris and his family at his home last week to ask him to elaborate on this statement.

Chris and his wife Debi moved to Des Moines in 1998. They love the convenience of the city, the proximity to Seattle and the water access. Chris added that “we’ve lived here for the better part of our married life, the better part being when each of our kids were born.” Prior to moving to Des Moines, Chris spent nearly 20 years in the Kent area.

The kids include 9-year old Katalia (Katie), 8-year old Tieran and Jestin (Jesse), 2-1/2. Katie is an aspiring actress who recently participated in the Missoula Children Theater’s rendition of “King Arthur’s Quest” at the Field House. Tieran is a HUGE sports fan who loves watching and playing football and baseball.

“My kids are such an important part of who I am and why I’m running for office,” Chris said.

Chris’ resume includes a background in business, retail, manufacturing, technology, construction, restaurant management and real estate. He is currently finishing degree requirements at Highline Community College for his 2-year Business degree, and is finalizing his 4-year degree online at City U as an Accounting major.

“At heart I’m a tech guy and an efficiency expert,” Chris told WLB. “In the past 10 years, I estimate that I’ve saved my employers more than $1,000,000.

Chris has considered running for City Council for a couple of years. He said that in his opinion, “Des Moines spends too much money on things we don’t need, and not enough on things we do need. And residents pay too much for what they get.”

Further, he believes Des Moines is “not business friendly.”

Chris will be appearing at the City Council Candidates Forum on July 22 at Huntington Park to discuss these and other issues facing Des Moines.

“I do not believe in business as usual. If there is a problem, I will try to fix it. Call me. Email me. Tell me what you need and what you believe,” concluded Chris.

He wants to hear from you!
