🌉 Always great connecting with neighbors at this year’s Bridging Bremerton! I’m looking forward to the day we finally cross on a modern, 12-foot path thanks to the design I worked with community to secure that's accessible, forward-looking, and the most cost-effective option.

Met with yet another #Bremerton #SmallBusiness owner stuck in permits for over two years. Stories like this are far too common — driving businesses away and leaving storefronts empty. As mayor, I’ll fix our broken permitting system and build a vibrant, welcoming city.

✅ I’m committed to working with City Council, not against them. As Mayor, I’ll rebuild trust, make collaboration the rule, and focus on progress over politics so we can actually move our city forward. #BetterBremerton #Collaboration

Bremerton’s reserves are draining fast—we can’t afford to live “paycheck to paycheck” as a city. Now is the time for fiscal responsibility & strong leadership. Read my full op-ed: https://www.electjeffcoughlin.com/news

Accountability isn’t optional. It’s leadership. I’ll hold myself, my team, and our local government to the highest standards. Trust is built through transparency and collaboration—and when we build relationships openly, we move Bremerton forward together. 🔎 #BremertonForward

Honored to attend tonight’s 9/11 Memorial flag-raising 🇺🇸 and Sunday’s 9/11 SOS event with Kitsap County. Strong reminder of the need for emergency preparedness— as Mayor I’ll strengthen communication, support first responders, and partner regionally and locally. #NeverForget #Bremerton

Huge thanks to the Manette Business Association for another amazing Manette Fest — and so touching to see the parade named in honor of Ruth Resse ❤️. While the current Mayor is proposing to cap the number of special events like this, I’ll make sure #Bremerton fully supports them.

Every dollar counts — especially yours. I’ll ensure Bremerton budgets reflect our priorities: safe streets, affordable housing, and thriving small businesses. No waste, no excuses — just fiscal responsibility. 💵✅ #SmartSpending #BremertonForward

🚒Bremerton is tired of back-room deals and ignored input. As mayor, I’ll open budgets and plans so firefighters, teachers, community leaders, and every resident can see what’s happening. When you speak up, we’ll act on it. That’s how we build trust and a stronger Bremerton. 💪

Permitting might not be glamorous — but it can make or break a growing city. Right now, Bremerton’s system is broken. Businesses & homeowners are stuck in endless delays and red tape. I’ll start by fixing the permitting process. #CutTheRedTape #BremertonForward

Proud to spend Labor Day standing shoulder to shoulder with union members, fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and dignity on the job. As Mayor, I’ll keep fighting to make sure Bremerton is a city that works for working families. ✊ 💪 🌅

A special thank you to Marwan Cameron for running a campaign rooted in community and focused on real issues. I’m grateful he ran, and I appreciate his dedication to our city — and for spotlighting so many challenges that deserve real solutions, not more of the same from the current administration.

For a two-term incumbent to be sitting around 50% in a low-turnout primary shows just how much energy there is for something better. With hard work and your support, we can win in November — and Bridge a Brighter Bremerton we all deserve.

We’re heading to the general election — and with your help, we’re going to win this!
