For more than 20 years, I'm proud to have called Kirkland home. This is a special place to work, live, raise a family, and enjoy our natural beauty. And these days I'm overwhelmed by the grass roots support for my moderate Democrat voice for City Council.

During my time here, we've experienced enormous growth. My professional background in Healthcare Management - fighting for results in womens and reproductive rights -  has equipped me with the skills to manage complex systems and limited resources effectively. I've applied these same principles of accountability and efficiency both in my career and in my community involvement. 

If elected as your next council member, I'll focus on:

• Investing in public health and safety
• Pushing for more transparency and fiscal accountability
• Growth that is feasible, affordable, strong and sustainable for residents, workers and businesses
• Protecting Kirkland's residents and neighborhoods first

As many Kirkland community members have experienced in recent years, many systems in local government are broken or increasingly or are not returning the value we had hoped to see. We need to restore local systems, like our neighborhood associations, to bring discouraged Kirklanders back into participation and solve the issues we care about - together.

Differing perspectives make for healthy discussion, independent thinking, and balanced decisions. With your support, I'll work tirelessly to ensure Kirkland remains the exceptional place we all cherish, where growth is managed thoughtfully and our unique character is preserved.

I can't get elected without your support.
