As your Council President and acting Mayor pro tem, I’ve been singularly focused on doing what is right for Issaquah families and communities. I’m the only candidate who’s delivered local results that matter: strengthened public safety and behavioral health teams, championed local transit, doubled investment in safe, walkable neighborhoods, advocated for neighborhood-led traffic calming, and supported local businesses with $1.5 million in recovery grants. But there’s more to do. 

As Mayor, I’ll continue to keep our neighborhoods safe, protect our natural environment, and prioritize local residents - preserving our small-town spirit even as we grow. As a parent, neighbor, and mentor, I’ll continue to listen, lead with integrity, and put Issaquah first. I’d be honored to earn your vote. 

Proudly endorsed by local leaders, educators, and organizations dedicated to Issaquah’s future, including 15+ neighboring Mayors and Councilmembers; 5th, 41st, and KC Democrats; Issaquah Education Association; MLK Labor; WA Conservation Action.

I’m proud to be running for my dream job as mayor of Issaquah. My commitment to public service was inspired by my dad, who served as mayor of my hometown.  I’m honored to be endorsed by our current mayor, Mary Lou Pauly. 

As I did representing Issaquah in the State Senate,  I’ll always listen to your concerns, be honest with you, and work hard to help our city thrive. 

As mayor, I’ll prioritize reducing traffic congestion, maintaining public safety, and protecting Issaquah’s natural beauty. I’ll also use my small business experience to build responsible budgets that make Issaquah more affordable for families and local businesses. I’m honored to have endorsements from Issaquah mayor Mary Lou Pauly, former Issaquah mayors Fred Butler and Rowan Hinds, Governor Bob Ferguson, former Governors Chris Gregoire and Gary Locke, Issaquah Councilmember Chris Reh, King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn, Eastside Firefighters Local 1762, and many more.
