Statement:

Bellevue has been my home for over 25 years, and I want to ensure it remains safe, grows responsibly, and works for everyone living here. My priorities include fixing our police staffing gap, reducing congestion, expanding our park system (especially in underserved areas) and guiding new development into growth corridors like downtown, not our single-family neighborhoods.

Owning a small technology business and serving nearly a decade on the Parks & Community Services Board and Civil Service Commission has prepared me to deliver results. I’ll bring practical solutions that pursue the priorities of Bellevue residents first and foremost.

I will work to ensure Bellevue remains a global leader in innovation and economic opportunity while ensuring growth is thoughtful, sustainable, and supported by the infrastructure it demands. I’m committed to increasing transparency in city decisions by listening, engaging, and making sure residents have a voice in shaping our future.

I am proud to again be endorsed by The Seattle Times, the Ethnic Chamber Coalition, Councilmembers Conrad Lee and Jared Nieuwenhuis, King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn, and many other organizations and community leaders. I would be honored to earn your vote to keep Bellevue moving forward, without losing what makes it special.

Occupation: Bellevue City Councilmember, Co-founder Mental-health nonprofit; Planning Commissioner; Director, Amazon.
Statement:

As the only Democrat in this race, my priorities are clear: keeping Bellevue safe, inclusive, and more affordable. My family made Bellevue our home 12 years ago because of its exceptional quality of life, excellent public schools, beautiful parks, and welcoming neighborhoods. I'm running to retain my seat on the City Council to ensure Bellevue remains a thriving, safe, and inclusive city.

With a background in urban planning, leadership experience in technology, and five years on Bellevue’s Planning Commission, I bring practical experience and a collaborative mindset. As Bellevue continues to grow, I will focus on delivering pragmatic solutions to everyday challenges: reducing traffic congestion, expanding housing affordability, and addressing the rising cost of living.

Public safety and community well-being are my top priorities. I strongly support our police and first responders and expanding mental health and crisis response services. I’m committed to building a strong local economy that benefits everyone. I’d be honored to earn your vote.

Endorsed by: Mayor Lynne Robinson and entire Bellevue City Council, Congressman Adam Smith, State Representatives Zahn, Slatter, and Salahuddin, KC Councilmember Claudia Balducci, multiple Eastside Mayors, Bellevue Firefighters, KC Federation of Democratic Women, KC Democrats, Eastside Business Alliance, and many community leaders.
