Statement:

I’m running for Federal Way City Council to bring bold, results-driven leadership that helps our city thrive. A 25-year resident, husband, father, and professional in higher education and workforce development, I understand the challenges our community faces, rising living costs, economic uncertainty, and a growing disconnect between residents and local government.

I’ll prioritize public safety that protects all residents, especially seniors, with transparency and accountability. I’ll push for urgent, compassionate action on homelessness, housing, and mental health by investing in affordable housing and support services.

To strengthen our economy, I’ll attract businesses, support entrepreneurs through a city-sponsored incubator, manage growth around light rail, and create good-paying jobs. I’ll also champion youth engagement by expanding access to education, recreation, wellness programs, and city-backed apprenticeships. I believe in Federal Way’s potential, with your support, we can build a safer, stronger, more inclusive city for everyone. I humbly ask for your vote!
