I am running for Walla Walla City Council because I want to represent and serve the diverse population across our community. I have the community service, professional experience, leadership skills and passion to serve as your at-large City Council representative.

• develop and preserve affordable housing
• support a sustainable local business environment
• promote smart and sustainable growth
• support diverse education and work opportunities for our youth
• create economic development and urban renewal projects
• enhance public safety
• preserve the small-town character of Walla Walla

My vision is to plan for smart and sustainable growth, preserving the small-town character of Walla Walla, as well as creating a cooperative and sustainable local business environment.  We need to enhance public safety, develop and preserve affordable housing, support diverse education and work opportunities for our youth, create economic development and urban renewal projects in our central business area, and develop a sustainability action plan.  I believe diversity, education, employment opportunities and housing security are at the heart of our community’s social fabric.

I listen and collaborate to resolve the challenges that we face as a community, making decisions based on the merit of the ideas, rather than ideology or political biases.

I believe that it is within our power to ensure that Walla Walla continues to be a great place for everyone to live, raise a family and run a business. Together we can define and create the future we envision, a city where we all belong and thrive and are proud to call home.

I have the community service, professional experience, leadership skills and passion to serve as your at-large City Council representative.
