GENERAL 2025
Woodinville Fire & Rescue
Commissioner Position No. 4
I am running to bring my emergency management background to Woodinville Fire & Rescue and help make our community more resilient. I hold a Master of Public Administration in Emergency Management, FEMA certifications, and have six years of government experience at the federal, state, and local levels. I served in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under the Biden administration, where I worked across agencies to strengthen accountability and public transparency. I will work to involve more residents in emergency preparedness, support our firefighters and staff in their right to organize, and help improve coordination with cities, nearby fire districts, King County, and the State of Washington to keep our communities safe.
Endorsements include King County Democrats, 1st Legislative District Democrats, Representatives Shelley Kloba and Davina Duerr, King County Young Democrats, and Woodinville Deputy Mayor James Randolph.

Woodinville is my hometown. I grew up here, and now I’m raising my own family in the same community I love. I am running for the Fire & Rescue Commissioner board to ensure our district remains well-prepared, well-staffed, and responsive to the growing needs of our neighborhoods.
With a background in small business leadership, I bring fiscal responsibility, strategic planning, and a strong commitment to public safety. My priority is to support our firefighters and emergency personnel with the resources, training, and equipment they need, while maintaining transparency and accountability to the taxpayers we serve.
I believe in smart growth, strong collaboration with neighboring districts, and proactive emergency planning to address challenges like wildfire risk and population growth. Woodinville deserves leadership that listens, plans ahead, and puts community safety first—and I am committed to providing that leadership.
