Words From Chris Ford

Since April, I've been knocking on doors across ward 1, meeting residents and hearing their thoughts about our community. One question I occasionally get is, “Are you a Democrat or Republican?” My response: “Hi, I’m Chris Ford, running for Blaine City Council. I’m not a politician but here to work for the interests of the people in Ward 1, not a political party. I’m here to bring a different approach to local government.”City Council is a nonpartisan body representing everyone in our city, not on party lines or special interests like we see at the state or federal levels

I believe in respectful, honest, open conversations, even when we may not agree. Collaboration leads to the best ideas, because solutions come from diverse perspectives working toward a shared goal. As a firefighter and union leader, I fought for fair wages, quality of life, and basic human dignity—values that mean everyone deserves a safe, thriving community.

In my 21 years as a firefighter, I never asked someone if they were Democrat or Republican. As a union leader, I worked with members across the political spectrum. As a city council candidate, I’m proud to have support from Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and those who are unaffiliated.

My approach is simple: local government should serve all residents. Let’s work together for real solutions on key issues like public safety, infrastructure, and smart economic development.

My promise to you: as your city council member, I will bring a professional skillset built on a career of public service to the table that all residents can be proud of in their representative.
