GENERAL 2025
City of Issaquah
Council Position No. 1
As an 11-year Issaquah resident and active community member, I’m committed to preserving the character and quality of life that make our city special while guiding thoughtful, balanced growth.With over 20 years of financial and leadership experience, and as 5-year Chair of the Economic Vitality Commission and Vice Chair of the Strategic Plan Taskforce, I bring a strong record of responsible budgeting, strategic planning, and community-focused decision-making.
I’m honored to be endorsed by the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1762, representing Issaquah firefighters. Public safety is a top priority, along with smart infrastructure investment and sustainable policies supporting working families, seniors, and small businesses.I believe in transparent, accountable leadership that listens and acts with integrity. I’m running not just to lead, but to listen and deliver practical, proactive solutions reflecting our shared values.
Together, we can keep Issaquah thriving. I value your vote and trust.
As your Issaquah City Councilmember, I’ve voted to conserve open space, build affordable homes near transit, allow for gentle density in our residential neighborhoods, and plan for light rail. When 140 trees were illegally logged in Grand Ridge Park, the Issaquah Alps Trails Club (IATC) raised the alarm. As President of IATC, I’ll take this community-centered approach to fight for what we all believe in.
As Issaquah grows, I’m committed to finding innovative solutions to the challenges of balancing growth, public safety, infrastructure needs, and sustainability, while stewarding taxpayer dollars responsibly. Together, we can make housing affordable, get traffic moving, maintain public safety, protect our environment, and support small businesses. I'd be honored to earn your vote.
Endorsements: Issaquah Mayor Pauly, State Senator Hunt, State Representative Hall, King County Councilmember Perry, Issaquah City Councilmembers Walsh and Marts, Sierra Club, Eastside Business Alliance, King County/5th/41st Democrats, and more!
