👋 About Me

I’m a parent, volunteer, and community leader with more than 20 years of service in Snohomish County. From Girl Scouts and PTA to the Red Cross and the League of Women Voters, I’ve worked to bring people together, build consensus, and make sure every voice is heard.

I also serve on the Mountlake Terrace Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Commission, where I help ensure community perspectives shape local decisions.

🗳️ Why I’m Running

The Snohomish County Charter is our local “constitution.” It’s reviewed only once every 10 years. This is a rare chance to make sure it reflects who we are today—and where we’re headed.

My Priorities:

Equity & Representation → Strengthen protections against discrimination and ensure diverse voices have a seat at the table.
Public Safety & Accountability → Support strong emergency services and social safety nets while exploring sensible commitments like gun safety protections.
Sustainable Growth → Plan for light rail and population growth while protecting natural resources and climate resilience.

🌍 Closing Message

This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity. Together, we can build a Charter that reflects fairness, transparency, and inclusion for all of Snohomish County.

I’d be honored to earn your support.
