Statement:

I am a first-generation Vietnamese American who values hard work, opportunity, and community. My parents immigrated to the U.S. in 1990 to build a better future, and their resilience inspires my dedication to serve Tukwila with that same determination.

My commitment to Tukwila’s past, present, and future is reflected in my service as a Planning Commissioner and active member of the Tukwila Historical Society. My priorities include strengthening public safety, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and improving housing affordability. I also support enhanced transportation options, businesses and economic growth, and maintaining responsible city budgets.

Tukwila deserves leadership that listens, engages, and reflects our city’s diverse families. I will be accessible, responsive, and committed to building a community where every voice is heard and every person feels valued. I’d be honored to represent you. Endorsements Include: by Tukwila Mayor Tom McLeod, County Councilmember Desean Quinn, and former City Councilmember Kathy Hougardy.
