Like many during the pandemic, I reevaluated my priorities and what’s important. Priorities for my family and where we live are part of my inspiration for running. Woodinville needs to reaffirm long-term plans that will help us engage in socially and environmentally conscious growth, manage our traffic, and maintain the unique character in our existing neighborhoods and Sammamish Valley farmland.

Getting things done the right way takes collaborative efforts between our people, businesses, neighboring cities, and counties to find the best solutions. Join me to support the things that make Woodinville the place we love to call home and take action on the things that will make us more prosperous, inclusive, and forward-looking.

Woodinville is a very special place where my wife and I chose to retire and start a business. As a resident and business owner I am uniquely qualified to understand the City’s challenges and address solutions.  As a Councilmember and Mayor, I will work to preserve what makes Woodinville a great place to live, play and work.

Working with current councilmembers we have kept Woodinville financially strong.  Property taxes have not been raised during my tenure.

We have improved walkability and safety; and located multifamily housing near existing infrastructure.  I will make sure development is done responsibly while keeping the current character of our neighborhoods.  I will continue to work for a solution to the trestle traffic bottleneck (we are very close), and most importantly fight to make sure King County’s Garbage Site is not located in Woodinville. Keep Woodinville growing responsibly.  I would be honored to have your vote.
