As a longtime islander, I value Mercer Island’s strengths and am extremely hopeful for our future. I’m excited to bring my professional skills of innovation, efficiency, and problem solving to City Council while championing decency, integrity, and independence. My husband and I want our son to be proud of where he lives.

As a second-generation Islander, parent and current Councilmember, I greatly appreciate our community.

I have served on Council since 2017 and have the government, executive and technical experience necessary to evaluate decisions impacting our schools, neighborhoods and character of Mercer Island.

I will work to fully fund MIYFS School Counselors, protect and grow our Parks & Open Spaces, and provide affordable housing opportunities, especially with seniors in mind. I will continue to negotiate the best outcomes for our community, recognizing we are in a rapidly growing region, ensuring our Town Center, Parks and public spaces remain safe and thriving for all to enjoy. It is an honor to serve our community and to earn the endorsement of my fellow Councilmembers. I ask for your vote and support. Endorsements: Mayor Benson Wong; Deputy Mayor Wendy Weiker; Councilmembers David Rosenbaum, Jake Jacobson, Lisa Anderl; Former Councilmembers Dan Grausz, Jeff Sanderson, David Wisenteiner.
