Honor, Integrity, Selfless Service. These are the qualities I will bring to the Council when elected by the citizens of Mercer Island. My wife (native Mercer Islander) and I relocated to Mercer Island to allow our boys to experience one of the best public school systems in the nation, the tranquility and secure feeling that a small island brings, and the close-knit community unique to Mercer Island.

I will work hard with the Council and city management to ensure that regional politics are minimized. I will be your voice on the Council. My priorities are public safety - supporting first response teams, fiscal responsibility, transportation advocacy putting Mercer Island first, and preservation of our unique and beautiful parks system.  

I am honored to have been endorsed by my local community members. I will work hard for you and your family and humbly ask you to vote for Michael Curry.  

Leveraging 30 years’ experience in the public and private sectors, I have a passion for listening to community members and crafting effective solutions. I will prioritize maintaining local control of public safety, ensuring first responders have the resources they need, protecting and expanding parks, working with neighboring cities to address homelessness, and strengthening our business community.

A 40-year Islander, I have had the honor to serve on the Planning Commission since 2017, working through complex issues including the comprehensive plan and critical areas ordinance. As the Seattle IT Portfolio Manager, I lead the inter-departmental committee selecting and prioritizing strategic technology initiatives achieving both innovation and greater efficiency.

I will serve our community with integrity, compassion, and dedication. I humbly ask for your vote. Endorsements: Legislators Wellman, Senn; Council Members Wong, Weiker, Reynolds, Rosenbaum; School Board Members Lurie, D’Souza, Tucker, Dinh, Giannini-Upton; former Mayors Bertlin, Merkle, Clibborn, Newman; MI FireFighters Association.
