Recovering Alcoholic

Navy Veteran (Seabees Can Do). Service is the foundation for living my best life, I want to continue that service as your representative in city council. I volunteer with local organizations including the Issaquah Food Bank and AARP. I also serve my fellow students as a Peer Recovery Navigator. 

I want to know what's important to you. I work for you. My personal cell phone number and email are listed in this pamphlet. Call, email or text me with your thoughts about Issaquah. What do you like? What would you like to see changed? Together we can improve on an already fine community. I have neither political ties nor owe any favors. This Is Your Office

As your Councilmember, I’m working to make Issaquah a safe, affordable, and thriving community for all.

Experienced leadership is crucial for navigating Issaquah’s rapid growth and change. I have led efforts to protect our forested hillsides and salmon streams while allowing for targeted housing and business growth. I am focusing on providing transportation alternatives to our congested roadways. I was proud to champion our Climate Action Plan as we prepare for drier summers and smoke impacts. I’m committed to public safety; as Council President, I bolstered Police and Human Service funding and we launched a Homeless Outreach Program and a co-response program to address mental health and behavioral health needs.

I’d be honored to continue the important work of shaping Issaquah’s future. Endorsed by: Issaquah Mayor Pauly, State Representatives Ramos and Callan, King County Councilmember Perry, King County Young Democrats, 41st LD Democrats, National Women’s Political Caucus of Washington, more. 

I am excited to introduce myself as a candidate for the Issaquah City Council. Our council needs a fresh, new, and active approach. With decades of experience as a small business owner and a member of the Issaquah Highlands Community Association Board, I am committed to address pressing issues.

Our community needs effective solutions for traffic, homelessness, drug abuse, crime, and housing affordability. I will prioritize improving transportation infrastructure. To address homelessness, drug abuse, and crime, I will collaborate with local organizations and law enforcement to develop comprehensive support and rehabilitation programs. 

Additionally, I am committed to promoting affordable housing initiatives for low-income families and young professionals. As your council member, I will listen, be accessible, and tirelessly work towards innovative and effective solutions. With my experience, dedication, and fresh perspective, I am confident in making a positive impact on the Issaquah City Council and building a stronger, inclusive community.  

I am a welder, business owner, and 24-year Issaquah resident running for city council to raise my voice on behalf of the people of Issaquah and their rights. In a city that grows by leaps and bounds every year, it can seem commonplace for the autonomy of individuals to be sidelined for the “greater good” of citywide growth and expansion. 

If elected I aim to champion the principles of individual liberties and support the existing leadership of Issaquah with ideas and solutions that meet that aim.
 

Furthermore, in times of economic hardship I believe it is the duty of every level of government to ease the financial burden of excessive taxes and fees. The success of a city’s government is directly tied to the success of the people it strives to serve.
