As a council candidate Mark committed to improving neighborhood safety, promoting job growth, and strategically redeveloping our downtown. As a councilmember Mark kept his word. 

In his second term, Mark will continue to focus on the issues important to Federal Way families and crucial to our city’s future. He is committed to continued enhancement of public safety through community engagement, innovative practices, and hiring additional officers. He also will hold Sound Transit accountable during the construction phase, equitably address homelessness, and continue enactment of the Violence Prevention Coalition Steering Committee recommendations concerning youth engagement, an initiative Mark was instrumental in starting, approving, and implementing.

Mark is a proven leader who is optimistic about the future of Federal Way. He is a trusted member of the council who is approachable, engaged and well informed. He would be honored to continue serving all the residents of our city. Vote Koppang for Council.

Federal Way has a world of possibilities in its future. For most, our city is a great place to live, work, play, volunteer and worship. However, as our city continues to grow, we face some challenges that requires community-driven leadership to help “Federal Way Move Forward.”
