Support for Mark:

Mark’s deep ties to the community, diverse experience, and unwavering commitment to conservative values make him the best candidate to represent District 4. He is ready to address the challenges our County is facing and work tirelessly for you. Mark will change the status quo and work to point our County in a better direction.
— Sen. Simon Sefzik
The Faber family is thrilled to support Mark in his drive to represent Whatcom County District 4. He is a principled leader bringing change to the status quo.
— Ben & Ray Faber, Faber Construction
I have known Mark since high school. He is a solid local candidate who will be loyal to himself and his district. An unwavering conservative who will fight against the massive wave of ‘woke think’ that is sinking this state and county.
— Lee Beld, former Lynden Police Sergeant
Mark understands well the existential problems facing farmers today, especially when it comes to water issues. Most importantly, he is on the right side of these issues and will work side by side with farmers as we fight for the viability of agriculture in Whatcom County.
— Marty Maberry, Maberry Packing
We are excited that Mark has made the decision to run for County Council. With his deep roots in Whatcom County, he understands what is important to us and has the strong backbone needed to stand up for those values and not get pulled into the political compromising we are seeing happen way too often.
— Stremler Gravel
The values we hold as a family are very important to us. We care deeply about this county and its future. We need someone we can trust to be our voice and vote “yes” or “no” at the council. That’s why our family is endorsing Mark!
— Pacific Growers and the Van Wingerden family
Mark has a great work ethic. His roots run deep in our county. He drove truck for us a few years at night while farming during the day with his dad. If that’s not grit, I don’t know what is. As they say, behind every great man is a great woman. Mark’s wife, Shari, comes from a bakground of a family run small business of many years in the county. She is a supportive godly wife, mother, and grandma. Mark is the whole package who will work hard for us with positive, common sense, and conservative thinking. We fully endorse him.
— Rick & Sadie Holleman
Mark is a person that will give us his best!
— Bob & Pauline Van Weerdhuizen
I believe Mark is the right person to represent District 4.
— Alvin Starkenburg, former Whatcom County Council Member
Mark is the right guy for this job! He is not a politician. He is a man of integrity. He will stand firm and vote for what’s best, even if it means he stands alone. He will listen. He will work hard, giving 100% for the best of our, and his, community.
— Rich & Ann Appel
The Axiom family of companies and I are proud to endorse Mark Stremler. No matter the party you belong to, integrity, honesty, commitment, and the hunger for knowledge and truth are the values that we all want in a public servant. Mark embodies these values. Mark’s time in Public Works and moral servitude will deliver the results that are in the best interests of all citizens in this county.
— Tim Koetje, Axiom Construction & Consulting L.L.C.
I am endorsing Mark for County Council District 4 because I believe Mark to be an honest husband, father and American who works hard to safeguard what he believes in. There are many decisions that have been made on the county level that the average District 4 individual would not agree with. There are proposals that arise on the county level that we would not be in favor of. If you believe in personal freedoms, local government accountability; if you want a firm strong voice on council, and a representative that will vote every time with a clear and strong conviction, please stand with me and vote Mark Stremler for County District 4.
— Dave Burger, The Green Barn
On behalf of the 55,000 members of the Washington Teamsters Legislative League, it is our pleasure to endorse Mark Stremler for candidacy for Whatcom County Council District 4.
— Rick Hicks, President of WA Teamsters Legislative League
As the previous Chairman for the Whatcom County Republican Party, it gives me great pleasure to endorse Mark Stremler for the position of County Council Member representing the 4th District in Whatcom County. I have had the good fortune of spending time with Mark and his family, and they personify the solid conservative values, and patriotism that we as Republicans hold fast to, and as we have codified in the Republican Party Platform. I am confident that we can count on Mark’s trustworthiness to represent us unwaveringly by those standards.
— Larry McDonough

Rich Kayser

My family and the Stremler’s were neighboring farmers for decades. Mark is someone you can trust to make common sense decisions and not waiver like others. I fully endorse Mark Stremler.
