City of Redmond
Council Position 2
As a proud resident for over 12 years, I have had the opportunity to see the city grow to be a more diverse and inclusive place to live. Raising my family as part of the Redmond community has been one of the best parts of my life living in the Puget Sound. Giving back to the community is what drives me to serve you on the Redmond City Council. I want to apply my problem-solving ideas to the challenges that face the city. From the growing traffic problem, we all face every day, to the growing homelessness problem that many in our community are starting to face. I will work with other city officials towards creative solutions to ensure that we can setup our city for success financially and continue to be a safe place to raise our families.

Choose experience. Elect Byron!
Redmond is experiencing tremendous growth. We now need a clearer vision that unites the different parts of Redmond, works successfully with regional partners, and optimizes opportunities of prosperity. We need strong leadership with fresh perspective. As your representative, I will be a leader actively engaging our community for the benefit of all. My budget and policy work guiding elected representatives at King County and the City of Seattle emphasized community priorities and fiscal management across all municipal functions. These skills will make me more effective as a council member and an asset to Redmond. Together we can build the community we want.
My commitment and passion is to serve the City with constructive, responsible oversight and ensure high standards of excellence in City government that complies with community interests.
I appreciate your confidence and your vote.
Endorsements: Democrats and Republican officials, former Mayor Rosemarie Ives and community and business leaders.
