Testimonials

Laura Mikulski - Ferndale Mayor Pro Tem
”I’m very pleased to endorse Eddie Sabatini for Ferndale City Council. From the moment I met him, his drive, thoughtfulness, and collaborative spirit stood out. Eddie is exactly the kind of team player we need- someone who listens, takes initiative, and genuinely elevates the voices of residents. His work founding the Kulick Coalition to safeguard our Community Center is a perfect example of how he brings people together, navigates bureaucracy with empathy and determination, and leads by putting community first. I’m confident Eddie will serve our city with integrity, respect, and vision. I look forward to working alongside him to build a more inclusive, responsive, and forward-thinking Ferndale.”

Rolanda Kelley - Ferndale City Council
”Eddie has shown that he’s committed to listening to residents, being transparent, and doing the hard work to move Ferndale forward. What truly sets Eddie apart is that he’s a genuine team player, someone who works with others to get results for our residents. We need leaders like Eddie who bring energy, integrity, and a collaborative approach to serving our community.”

Oscar Renautt
”Eddie is a great choice. He is transparent, energetic, and passionate about our city’s success. He understands what residents want: a strong and inclusive community, along with an accountable, efficient, and reliable city government. I am confident that he will listen and will amplify the voices of our community - putting our priorities first.”

Peggy Snow
”Eddie would be great on our city council. When you talk to him you can tell that he is really listening and cares what you are saying. He has already been involved in many community projects. He wants to work with everyone, dig in and get the job done.”

Pamela McLeod - Owner, Witch House Tattoo & co-founder of Harvest Festival on Livernois
”Eddie Sabatini embodies everything I value most about our community. He’s hardworking, engaged, and deeply committed to understanding the needs of our city. He brings a natural positivity to every interaction, and his enthusiasm is contagious. No matter where you’re coming from, Eddie is willing to meet you there and have an open, honest conversation. These are the exact qualities I look for in a city council candidate—and I truly believe he has a bright future ahead.”

Chris Hall - Ferndale Planning Commissioner
”I am proud to endorse Eddie Sabatini for Ferndale City Council. I have seen firsthand how much Eddie cares about our city and how consistently he shows up for residents. Ferndale deserves leaders who listen, follow through, and keep our community moving forward. Eddie does all three. What stands out most about Eddie is his commitment to transparent communication and practical problem-solving. He takes time to hear diverse perspectives, asks thoughtful questions, and focuses on clear action steps rather than headlines. That approach matters for the day-to-day issues residents feel most. He  is a leader who talks with people, not at them. That shows real integrity, and it is exactly the kind of leadership Ferndale needs.”

Dave Cottrill
”I first met Eddie and Sarah in May at the Good Neighbors Garden at Martin Road Park.   They inquired about the garden activities and asked us to sign their petition to show citizen concern about the Kulick Community Center.  They told us about the importance of having a place to gather and their experience of raising their daughters with the programs that had been at Kulick.  We suggested that Eddie talk to Laura, since both have a great concern for community and letting people know that they are heard. When Eddie decided to run for Council, I started volunteering on his campaign. He is empathetic, a good listener, and able to understand complex city financial and policy documents.  I thoroughly endorse Eddie Sabatini for City Council.”

Nicole LaDouceur-Janowicz - Plan Ferndale Steering Committee (2022) & Ferndale Environmental Sustainability Commissioner (FESC) 2020-present
”I endorse Eddie Sabatini for Ferndale City Council because Eddie is a community builder who leads with integrity, responsibility, community engagement and action. Eddie is an excellent communicator and thorough researcher who welcomes resident feedback and participation. He works well with others, maintains transparency in decision-making, and truly engages with our community to create positive, lasting change.”

Jim McLuckie
”Eddie has the qualities I look for in a public servant: people first, approachable, warm, curious, determined, and enthusiastic. His campaign is founded in community engagement over the Kulick Center, and in short order, he helped move the ball forward. That, along with Laura and Rolanda's endorsements, speaks volumes. He would be an accountable voice for the people of Ferndale and a responsible steward of our fabulous little city, and I look forward to having him on council.”

Monica and Larry Mills
”We are very impressed with how Eddie is interested in every residents ideas and why they feel those thoughts will better our city. Eddie wants to help each age group, young and old benefit from our local resources and he couldn't be easier to talk to.”
