Statement:

I am honored to be your Snoqualmie City Councilmember. Over the last 15 years, I’ve made a home in Snoqualmie with my family. As a volunteer for nearly two decades, I’ve devoted myself to supporting the needs of families and children in our community. My mission is to preserve, protect, and enhance our Snoqualmie way of life by guiding resources for families and children, transportation, and economic development.

 

With one of the youngest populations in Washington, the YMCA is the pillar of our community and is operating over capacity. I will explore options for expanding our community center and adding a pool. I will continue to advocate for the dedicated I-90 on-ramp, improvements to manage congestion and safety at our exits, and construction of I-90/SR18 interchange. I support strengthening economic development by diversifying our tax base through tourism and affordable housing for our workforce and seniors.

 

Please vote for me.

Statement:

As a Snoqualmie resident and restaurant owner since 2005, my passion has always been serving my community and supporting countless community events, helping neighbors, students and many local organizations..

 

Since 2017, I’ve consistently attended nearly all city Council meetings and City Council Committee meetings.

 

My Goals: 1. Transparency - Council decisions should be open and honest. 2. Decrease spending – Scrutiny needs to be placed on outside vendors to stop excess charges.  Cost control and procedures need to be reviewed. 3. Economic Development - Attract, Support and Grow business in Snoqualmie by a focus on tourism, creating more opportunities for diversity in tax revenues. 4. A Community pool with an updated traffic and impact study. 5. Responsible Growth -   We must be excellent stewards of our environmentally sensitive areas.  I support well-researched growth that does not adversely impact the environment. I sincerely appreciate your support and Vote for City Council Position 2!

Occupation: Retired Biology and Special Education Teacher
Statement:

In 2 years on council, the incumbent has approved development of 63 acres: over 600 hotel rooms/residences, $30M bond obligation and maximum property tax increases. Traffic studies consider only two blocks from developments, completely ignoring what hundreds more cars on Snoqualmie Parkway will do to traffic along its three miles. Cities are crucial in reducing green house gasses.

 

Why are city property taxes raised to the maximum? Why are water/sewer utility bills so high? I respect how hard you work for your money and your time! After a long hard commute, and running children to appointments you shouldn’t be stuck in traffic here at home. The incumbent acts like you have plenty of money to give to the city, and plenty of time and patience to put up with overcrowding.

 

You deserve better than this poor treatment. It’s time for thoughtful challenge, not rubber-stamping. I’ll work hard to support you!
