Since November 2019, I've been honored to serve as your Issaquah City Councilmember. I am now running for re-election in order to continue to serve the city I love so much.
Over the past five years, we've been through a number of trials, including a global pandemic; the public safety crisis and equity assessment occasioned by George Floyd's murder; inflationary worries and numerous climate impacts, such as the recent bomb cyclone. Over and over, Issaquah residents have demonstrated their resilience, caring and integrity in the midst of challenges. I am also so very proud of our city staff and first responders who consistently put the safety and welfare of the city before all other considerations. It will be an honor to serve all of you again.
I hope you will learn more through this website about my accomplishments as a councilmember, as well as my priorities going into the future. In my five short years on the council, I have focused on initiatives to address affordable housing and homelessness, transportation, climate change, human services and equity. I will continue to work on those issues, but it is clear that our community is also asking for better connections within and between neighborhoods, and a renewed sense of belonging.
I am dedicated to listening and learning from you. I will very much appreciate your support for my re-election to the Issaquah City Council, Position #3, and respectfully ask for your vote.
