Rich Zwicker Believes Good Governance Begins in Our Neighborhoods
I live with my wife, Martha, in North Renton. I am active in my neighborhood and I bring my commitment to Renton to my seat on the council. I enjoy being involved and being a part of the community.
I am a paralegal with the state Attorney General's Office, and also serve as a Trustee for the Renton Technical College and as a member of the Renton Technical College Foundation and Alumni Association. As a Trustee, I have served a term as Board Chair for the RTC Board of Trustees and served the Washington State Trustees Association of Community and Technical Colleges as the Chair of the Legislative Steering Committee and a member of its Awards Committee, Education Committee and Bylaws Committee. In 1999, I was acknowledged by Governor Locke in the Governing for Results Program, and in 2008 I received an Outstanding Team Award from Attorney General Rob McKenna for my efforts in the Bankruptcy & Collections Unit.
I am a current board member and Past-President of the North Renton Neighborhood Association and I have served as a member of Piazza Renton and the Renton Airport Advisory Committee.
I am the 2008 and 2009 Chair of the City Council Utilities Committee and I continue my service on the City Council's Planning and Development Committee and the Transportation (Aviation) Committee.
It is my priority to make sure that Renton continues to be regional leader as well as a great place to live, learn, work and play.
I will work to maintain a sense of community with the Mayor's office, my fellow councilmembers and our neighborhoods.
