John’s Background
| John has lived in the same house in
the Greenwood/Phinney area of the 36th District for the past 23 years.
His wife is Pam MacEwan, an Executive Vice President at Group Health.
His daughter Megan is in college and his son is a senior at Ballard.
Both his kids went straight through the Seattle public schools, and
have done well, thanks in large part to their great teachers in those
schools. A little more than ten years ago, John founded the Economic Opportunity Institute (EOI). EOI helps to problem-solve the fundamental issues of middle class life, such as health coverage, education, retirement security, and early childhood education. |
Examples of John’s leadership on these issues includes:
Before founding EOI, John worked
for the Fremont Public Association, helping to transfer Sand Point
Naval Base to the city and establish housing for the homeless
there. He earned a Master’s degree in Public Administration from
the University of Washington. He was also the political director
of the State Labor Council, co-chaired the Central America Peace
Campaign, and worked for the Senate Democratic Caucus in Olympia. |
