"Sharn Kaur is an outstanding candidate for the next City of Kent Council Representative. As the former owner of Sweet Themes Bakery for 13 years, a woman-owned small business in downtown Kent until December 2025, I have witnessed Sharn's unwavering commitment to supporting local enterprises. Her loyalty as a long-time customer truly stands out, and I appreciate how she has always treated our bakery as part of her family, sharing it with her immediate and extended relatives as well as close friends." -
