Occupation: Neighborhood and Family Advocate
Statement:

Thank you for voting in the primary. As a naturalized citizen, mother of three, and longtime Redmond resident, I know firsthand how the soaring cost of living, rising crime, and divisive politics are straining everyday families. I’m running for City Council to restore transparent, common-sense governance that keeps our city safe, affordable, and accountable to you.

I will champion a drug-free community where children can play in our neighborhoods and parks without worrying their parents. I will fully fund and empower our police, fire, and EMS, and reject nonessential projects that divert resources from public safety.

I will oppose new or hidden taxes, cut wasteful spending, streamline regulations, and welcome job-creating small businesses so people can afford to live, work, prosper, and retire here. I will defend parental and property rights and protect private property owners from burdensome regulations. I humbly ask for your vote. Endorsed by District 48 Republicans
