Fortunately for the citizens of Marysville, our mayor does more than just make slogans. He actually does what the slogans say.

Donna and I have had the pleasure of working with Pete Lundberg on many projects over the years. Be it as parents, PSTA members or as volunteers working on bond and levy committees, Pete was always there as a staunch supporter of improving the learning opportunities for Marysville’s youth. His depth of experience will bring added insight to the school board and his proven work ethic means he will be there to make sure the job gets done.
