Efficient, Effective and Transparent Government

I led the creation of Redmond’s first Community Strategic Plan in 2019, giving residents a stronger voice in decisions and improving how the city delivers services. As Chair of the Finance, Administration, and Communication Committee, I’ve used my 35+ years of experience in budgeting and performance management to ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively.

Looking Ahead

I will continue to modernize procurement practices, push for public input on major projects, and stand for open, transparent decision-making like I did when I challenged housing projects that required more community involvement and the abrupt closure of the Old Redmond Firehouse (Teen Center).

Protecting Our Environment

I led Redmond’s adoption of the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP), and the declaration recognizing the urgent need to act, putting the city on a path toward long-term environmental responsibility.

Looking Ahead

I’ll focus on disaster preparedness, reducing emissions, improving waste reduction practices, and building a greener, more sustainable future

Housing People Can Afford

I have called Redmond home for for 46 years. I have seen our city grow and the big changes that came with that growth, especially skyrocketing housing costs. I am committed to keeping Redmond affordable for young people starting out, and for seniors who want to age in place. I will continue to work to design and build neighborhoods for active families that deserve to have convenient access to work, services, and entertainment. This is why I championed Redmond’s first Housing Action Plan, to better understand our current housing supply and evaluate our needs, and shape policy accordingly.

Looking Ahead

There are no quick fixes. But we can:

• Embrace innovative, cost-cutting construction methods

• Expand mixed-income housing options

• Protect existing affordable homes

• Support first-time buyers and renters

• Keep property taxes manageable

• Ensure transparency in housing partnerships
  

Better Transportation

As a motorcycle rider, I’ve experienced Redmond’s dangerous road conditions firsthand. I’ve long advocated for automobile, bike, pedestrian, wheelchair, and scooter safety, and I've helped staff build real solutions.

Looking Ahead

With the Transportation Benefit District now in place, I will ensure that road repairs, bike lanes, sidewalk upgrades, adaptive traffic signals, and more neighborhood mobility solutions stay on track and meet community needs.

Parks and Recreation for All

Parks and Recreation for All
Over 90% of residents are satisfied with Redmond Parks, and for good reason. I helped expand parks to more neighborhoods, add dog parks and community gardens, and improve accessibility and maintenance.

Looking Ahead

• Expand parks in high-growth areas so everyone can walk to green space

• Complete long-delayed connections in the Eastern Corridor with trails and bridges

• Align programming with community needs

• Build partnerships to fund development and ensure access for all

Support for Small and Micro-Businesses

As a former small business owner, I know firsthand how vital these businesses are to our community.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, I stood with our local entrepreneurs, many of whom were overlooked and underserved. 

Looking Ahead

Supporting small business growth and resilience remains a top priority.

Public Safety and Crime Prevention

Most of Redmond’s recent crime increases involve property crime and fraud. These are preventable with awareness and resources.

Looking Ahead

I will continue to advocate for improved investigative capacity, crime prevention programs, and strong community engagement to ensure every resident feels safe.
