Everett mayor talks priorities for third term in office
EVERETT — Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin shared her top priorities going into her third term in office during an interview with The Daily Herald on Tuesday.
Franklin said her work over the next four years will largely be a continuation of her ongoing work. During this term, she will focus primarily on public safety, housing and human services, and improving community engagement, she said.
On public safety, Franklin hopes to address youth crime over the next four years. In March, Franklin announced a new mayoral directive — her 13th issued while in office — to reduce youth violence. It tells city staff to increase the presence of school resource officers, establish a new youth safety roundtable and track progress on youth-related initiatives. It also looks to advocate for statewide changes to firearm laws and juvenile justice reform.
Franklin previously issued a mayoral directive to reduce youth violence in 2018.
