Statement:

It’s time for a fresh face and effective leadership. The people of Redmond deserve better.

 

We need a council representative who will be a strong advocate for all people of Redmond, and not special interests. We need leaders who are willing to face the complex issues confronting our city today and provide leadership and solutions.

 

I am running as an independent candidate and have over 35 years of experience building successful businesses from technology to healthcare.  I am a Holistic Physician and a long-time resident of Redmond since late 80s and I look forward to the opportunity to use my skills, experience, and diverse background to make Redmond a better city. As your city council representative, I will be your advocate and will uphold the values that I have spent my whole life fighting for such as equality, and fairness for all. Thank you for your vote and support.

Education: Bachelor of Science in Business Management; minor in Economics from Oregon State University
Occupation: General Manager, Civic Hotel, Seattle
Statement:

It has been my distinct privilege to serve the residents of Redmond on the City Council. With the Mayor and Council working together, much has been accomplished. Redmond’s key accomplishments in my tenure include: adding several important transportation connections, adding two recreational facilities in downtown and ensuring light rail system is built in its original timeline and function.

 

I am the candidate in this race who has demonstrated principle in putting the taxpayer first. At times I have opposed budget proposals I believed raised taxes needlessly. I will continue to demand prioritization so we continue to deliver the best services possible with your tax dollars.

 

My work with Redmond Kiwanis (helping children) and Havens Community Connections (assisting women to build a way out of domestic violence) which are organizations making real impacts in the community. I respectfully ask for your vote on August 6th for Redmond City Council Position 7.

Statement:

With 20+ years of experience in the tech industry I have learned that we must always be focused beyond what we do today and build what we want to see in the future.  

 

Redmond is at a turning point in its history and it needs to work closer with the neighboring cities to address the regional issues that impacts all aspects of our lives.  From improving transportation, increasing affordable housing options and addressing the growing homelessness issues, we do not have a shortage of problems that need to be solved.

 

As a city council member, my focus will be on understanding the impact every decision the city makes on the on the people who live in the city and region.  We need to build a future Redmond that listens to the people and focuses on the issues that impact them. A city we can all be proud to call home.
