2021 general election
City of Kent
Council Position No. 6
I’m working to make sure every Kent resident is safe, healthy and has the opportunity to thrive.
As your councilmember, I’ve led the passage of renter protections, secured significant funding for mental health counseling for Kent youth, and made accessibility improvements to our city council meetings. I’ve continued to work with our community and police department to improve trust, training and accountability. I’ve also worked to proactively manage Kent’s growth and responsibly manage our budget to jumpstart our recovery and keep Kent affordable.
I’m the only candidate in this race who has consistently shown up for votes and voters. I’m accessible and accountable to everyone. You’ve seen me in our neighborhoods, events and meetings almost every day - and not just in election years.
Diversity - in all forms - strengthens us. Every Kent resident should feel welcome and respected. I unite people and get results. I’m supported by leaders in both parties, my fellow councilmembers, our entire legislative delegation, community leaders, business owners and faith leaders. It’s an honor to continue to serve you. I ask for your vote.
I am the Man Who Quieted Kent. I happened to be lucky enough to help with the transition from Burlington Northern to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for noise complaints. I believe I was the first person to call the FRA to file a noise report about Kent Station. I also worked with the state Attorney General's Office (AGO) to transition aircraft noise regulation from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to local airports. I was disappointed to find out that the FAA did not even know Kent is a quiet area for aircraft. Now Kent is as quiet as it is supposed to be.
As a consumer advocate, I have started the Capital One Hard Inquiry Scandal. This is the scandal in which the company puts hard inquiries on people's credit even though soft inquiries are designed for credit card companies to use. I have also warned people about egress windows. If you live in a first-floor apartment, you may have an egress window that lets strangers in to your home.
I am pro-choice, pro-NRA, pro-gambling, pro-hookah, pro-police, pro-Medicare, pro-development, pro-bicycle, pro-walking, and pro-environment.I would like our colleges to have a Customer Service major or emphasis, as well.
