As your Mayor, I’ve worked to build a safer, stronger, more resilient city—turning ideas into action, challenges into opportunities. We’ve made key investments in public safety, housing options, and vital infrastructure keeping Auburn safe, healthy, and vibrant. I’ve prioritized downtown improvements, family-wage jobs, and expanded efforts to reduce homelessness—connecting 400+ people with housing and services.
I believe in compassion, accountability, community, and practical solutions. That’s why we’re hiring more officers, revitalizing parks, supporting arts and culture, and hosted summer block parties that brought us together. Our city is thriving—families feel secure, roads are being repaired, businesses prosper, and our neighborhoods are stronger.
Proudly endorsed by Congresswomen Kim Schrier and Marilyn Strickland, Congressman Adam Smith, Firefighters #1352, local mayors, regional leaders, labor, and business. Together, we’ve made real progress—and with your support, we’ll keep building a future we can all be proud of. I’d be honored to earn your vote again.
Auburn is at a crossroads. Too many businesses have closed, crime has gone up, and neighbors tell me they don’t feel safe. We can, and must, change this.
I have served you as a councilmember, building strong partnerships with local businesses, community groups, and leaders across Washington and the nation. I bring experience, energy, and a proven record of getting results.
As mayor, I will make public safety my top priority- holding myself, our council, and our police accountable. I will bring back good-paying jobs, create affordable housing, and give our youth real opportunities to succeed. I will lead with integrity, transparency, and action - not words. I’m running a grassroots campaign with no PAC or special interest money, because my only commitment is to you. Together, we can restore the safe, vibrant Auburn we deserve. It’s time for strong leadership. It’s time for change. I ask for your vote.
