It was an honor to previously serve as your 30th District State Representative and now on the Federal Way City Council.  On the Council, I was elected by my Colleagues as Deputy Mayor twice, then as Mayor in 2010, and now as Council President.  As your 30th District State Representative, I was voted 2016 Outstanding Legislator of the Year by the State Sewer/Water Association.

I worked hard for 20 years in the offices I held to be a voice of reason as well as an advocate for common sense and fiscal responsibility.  Voted Best City Leader in Federal Way twice, I tried to be a leader with integrity as well as an advocate for families.  I need your vote now so that I can work to help you with crime, homelessness, and job growth.

A vote for Linda Kochmar will return a Trusted Leader to the Federal Way City Council.

We need a bold vision and fresh set of eyes to address our city’s challenges –  homelessness, the attack on a woman's rights to choose, the deadly fentanyl crisis, ensuring our businesses can thrive in post-pandemic America – which can only be solved by seeing the big picture.

I have a strong record of working with state and federal legislators to secure grant money and vital services that Federal Way lacks compared to other King County cities, and because of my background, unique on the council – surviving homelessness, domestic violence and sexual assault – I know firsthand the struggles people go through when they are trying to get their life back on track.

Endorsed by former State Representative and State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti, State Representative Kristine Reeves, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland, Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, the King County Democrats, and more. It’s time for change. Vote Denise Yun.
