Woodinville deserves housing policies that serve the people who live and work here — not just the developers who profit from it.

I believe in creating a community where teachers, service workers, young families, and longtime residents can afford to stay — and where thoughtful growth keeps our town vibrant without losing what makes it special.

We need to expand housing options that meet real community needs, not just pad out profit margins. That means smart zoning, affordable options near transit, and development that actually aligns with our infrastructure, our environment, and our values.

I'm not here to rubber-stamp projects designed behind closed doors. I'm here to ask the hard questions, bring the data, and make sure Woodinville grows with intention — and with all of us in mind. 

Woodinville’s success has brought people to our doorstep — but our transportation system hasn’t kept up.

We need a plan that works for both the people who live here and the people who visit. Right now, we’re stuck with congested roads, limited transit options, and infrastructure that doesn’t reflect the pace of our growth.

We should be investing in smart, forward-looking solutions: better public transportation, safer routes for walking and biking, and traffic management that respects our neighborhoods. Tourism is a big part of what makes Woodinville vibrant — but it can’t come at the expense of residents' daily lives.

This is about balance. We can be a welcoming, thriving destination and a place where it’s easy to get home, get to work, and get around — without gridlock. 

Our neighborhoods deserve to be the priority — not the afterthought.

From safe streets to vibrant parks and public spaces, every city dollar should make Woodinville cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for the people who live here. But right now, that’s not what’s happening. While capital improvement spending has more than doubled to $64 million, only 14% of that is going to Woodinville’s largest residential neighborhoods.

That’s not balance — and it’s not sustainable.

I believe in budgeting that puts residents first. That means focusing on core needs like safety, walkability, maintenance, and livability — not flashy projects with unclear benefits. With greater transparency and a focus on serving today’s community, we can invest in the heart of Woodinville while still protecting our financial future.

Let’s make sure every dollar does what it’s supposed to: improve the lives of the people who call Woodinville home.

Woodinville has always been strongest when our leaders focus on the people — not political agendas or outside influences.

For years, this city was shaped by neighbors who listened, solved local problems, and stayed rooted in the things that make Woodinville special: our heritage, our green spaces, and our small-town community spirit. But lately, we’re losing that connection. Voter turnout has dropped from 52% in 2017 to just 37% in 2023 — and trust in local government is slipping with it.

I'm running to help bring that trust back.

I believe real representation means listening first, being visible, and putting community voices ahead of outside pressure. It means staying grounded in what’s happening right here — not just what’s trending in Olympia or King County.

This campaign isn’t about partisanship. It’s about neighbors working for neighbors — and building a city that reflects all of us.
