Maple Valley has been my home since 1982, I moved here because I like the small-town atmosphere and the availability of outdoor recreation.

I have been serving as a Fire Commissioner here in Maple Valley for 8 years and understand how local government works and the need for citizen input.

During this time the population has increased and with the developments in Black Diamond traffic in Maple Valley has worsened. I will support infrastructure projects to decrease congestion. We need to continue to work with the State of Washington to widen Hwy 169 all the way to Renton. The city has created parks, ball fields, playgrounds and trails which my family and I use regularly. I am excited to be part of the City Council and continue making this the best City in Washington to live and raise a family.
