Second candidate throws hat in ring for port seat
June 2nd, 2011 by Chris HenryShawn Cucciardi, general manager and an owner of McCormick Woods
Golf Course and the Clubhouse Restaurant at McCormick Woods,
announced today that he will run for Port of Bremerton commissioner
position 3, being vacated by longtime commissioner Bill Mahan. Port
Orchard Fred Meyer manager
Alex Axel
Strakeljahn already has announced he will run for the
position.
Cucciardi said he would make it a priority to court port tenant Safe Boats, which employs 260 and plans to hire more. The port is mulling a “marine cluster” to entice Safe Boats to stay.
“Our priorities are to create and maintain jobs by retaining current tenants like SAFE Boats and focusing on a long term development plan to increase business revenue and make the port fiscally self-sufficient,” he said.
Filing week starts on Monday. We’ll do our best to keep readers up to speed. Feel free to contact us with notice of your candidacy: chenry@kitsapsun.com or sgardner@kitsapsun.com.
Our apologies to Mr. Strakeljahn for an earlier misspelling of his first name.

Doesn’t the port commission position at this time require more time and effort than Mr. Cucciardi would have time to devote to the job?
