Covington city residents and businesses and the surrounding community of unincorporated King County must be represented by someone with experience who is ready to make the commitment to serve.  Since 1969, I've served my community as a citizen volunteer, city commission chair, and elected official.  I served as an advisory member of the Puget Sound RFA Governance Board while mayor of Covington.  In 2016, I was appointed to the KCFD 37 Position 3 vacancy.  As your elected KCFD 37 Commissioner, I will serve as your voting member on the Puget Sound RFA Governance Board.  I pledge to practice good stewardship in making budget decisions, ensure that we continue to employ and support outstanding professional fire service personnel, and actively advocate for you in developing future plans for the fire and life safety protection of everyone living and working in one of the fastest growing areas of King County.
