I’m Jeff Coughlin, and I’m running for Mayor of Bremerton because I believe in our city and the people who call it home. Bremerton is a place full of opportunity, resilience, and community spirit, but I know firsthand the challenges we face — rising housing costs, a need for stronger public safety and support, a struggling healthcare system, a lack of connected safe transportation, and small businesses fighting to stay afloat.
I’ve spent years working alongside neighbors, local leaders, and small business owners to make real, lasting improvements in our city. Whether it’s expanding access to housing, supporting our local economy, or ensuring public safety, I believe that government should be responsive, transparent, and focused on solutions that actually work for people.
Bremerton deserves a mayor who listens, brings people together, and isn’t afraid to take action. I’m ready to lead with integrity, vision, and a deep commitment to making Bremerton a city where everyone can live, work, and thrive.
I’d love to hear from you — let’s Bridge a Brighter Bremerton, together!
