I am lucky to call her a friend and I deeply admire her and all the hats she wears in this community. She’s one of those people who just shows up consistently, wholeheartedly, and in so many meaningful ways. Whether it’s leading, volunteering, or supporting others behind the scenes, Stefanie gives her time and energy freely to our community.
She’s thoughtful, engaged, and one of the most passionate people I know!"
“I am overjoyed to endorse Stefanie Lejeunesse for Mt Vernon City Council at Large. Stefanie brings commitment and accountability to everything that she does. She works hard to uplift her community and show up in solidarity - with farmworkers, healthcare workers, teachers, and families. Mt Vernon needs strong, compassionate leadership. Stefanie is an excellent choice for city council.”
“I met Stefanie about 10 years ago as a fellow mom—our kids have grown up together in the Mount Vernon School District, and her home was along our daily walk to and from school. From the minute I met Stefanie, I knew she was a positive force—someone who walks her walk and talks her talk.
Stefanie is a person of deep integrity, sharp intelligence, and a compassionate heart. She listens. She shows up. And she speaks up—especially for those who have been overlooked or pushed aside.
Whether it's fighting for affordable housing, fair wages, or standing up for our diverse communities, I know Stefanie will be a strong advocate because she genuinely cares.
Mount Vernon needs leaders like Stefanie—leaders who believe in community, equity, and opportunity for all. I’m proud to support her.” - Kristin Loffer Theiss
“I’m Christopher Sadler (also known as Gina Touché, Simply Curious, Skagit Drag Series, and House of Touché), and I’m proud to endorse Stefanie Le Jeunesse for Mount Vernon City Council (at-large).
Since declaring her candidacy, Stefanie has already shown that she’s deeply rooted in this community and ready to lead with heart and integrity.
When I moved to Mount Vernon in 2005, I fell in love with its small-town charm, fresh local food, and vibrant diversity. Stefanie shares that love, and she’s backed it up with real action. From expanding healthy-food access through the Farmers’ Market, to supporting families with SNAP/WIC, to helping organize our city’s first LGBTQ+ Pride event, she consistently shows up for the people of this city in bold, meaningful ways.
As a local author, cancer survivor, podcast creator, and passionate advocate for inclusive public health, Stefanie brings lived experience and an unwavering commitment to equity. Her work across food justice, education, the arts, and accessibility aligns deeply with the values I stand for, and the leadership Mount Vernon deserves.
Stefanie Le Jeunesse is community-rooted, equity-driven, and ready to lead with compassion and action. I’m honored to stand with her.”
“I have seen the many ways that Stefanie shows up for underserved and unrepresented individuals and families in our community over the past ten years. She will be a strong advocate for all Mount Vernon residents as a City Council member and I am proud to cast my vote for her.” - Renata Hoyle Maybruck
