I moved to Kenmore eleven years ago to raise my family.  Its proximity to Lake Washington, its beautiful parks, and easy access to urban amenities and rural adventures is ideal for children and adults alike.

I’m running for City Council because the status quo isn’t working.  The Council’s apathetic response to the overwhelming opposition to its “missing middle” proposal was self evident.  The Council’s focus on niche issues has distracted it from the fundamentals essential for Kenmore’s outstanding potential for family-friendly neighborhoods, while accommodating growth and development.  These include fiscal discipline, reasonable increases in density along transit corridors, and forward-looking design and maintenance of roads and sidewalks.

I respect the citizens of Kenmore.  I will advocate for their stated priorities, promote stewardship of the land and natural resources, and make balanced and thoughtful decisions based on feedback and fiscal realities, drawing from significant real-world experience.  I humbly request your vote.

As a lifelong Kenmore resident with years of service in our community and as the youngest Planning Commissioner in our city's history, I have a unique perspective and commonsense approach that is needed on our Council.

As a Commissioner, I have listened to what is important to Kenmore residents regarding housing, the environment, and their hopes for a strong, accessible, and thriving downtown. Your voices matter, and I want to ensure they are represented.

With your support, we can make Kenmore better by supporting local businesses, focusing density and affordable housing near transit, preserving our beautiful parks and waterfront, creating a walkable/bikeable community, and ensuring a safe and healthy city for all. I respectfully ask for your vote. Endorsements: 1st District/King County Democrats, Rep. Gerry Pollet, former Kenmore Councilmembers Brent Smith, Stacey Denuski, Milton Curtis, School Board Director Bob Swain, Eric and Staci Adman, and other local leaders.

I would be honored to continue to represent the people of Kenmore on issues that concern us. I’m a community leader with a proven track record of success in public policy with workable solutions. Kenmore is a community worth fighting to ensure business, jobs and families can thrive; Continue to connect affordable housing; Complete the walkways & waterways project, connect parks, trails and sidewalks and transportation for fun Kenmore, protect our environment, parks and salmon habitats. And, I'd be honored to ask for your vote!
