Community Service: Since moving to Bothell in 1966, I have worked extensively within the community to help our families and businesses thrive, from the 1989 Main Street revitalization to the Northshore Performing Arts Center today.

Statement: It has been an honor to serve you in the Wa. State Senate for 24 years. Together we have made a difference in the lives of our families, schools and communities. I am excited to run for Bothell City Council and am committed to assuring all voices are heard and valued.

I am a small business owner and I know the challenges small businesses face. I will work to attract and retain businesses being mindful of preserving historic main street, the culture of our communities, preserving parks and open spaces, across King and Snohomish County. I will work to improve transportation; access for pedestrians, cars, bikes and transit.

My husband Jim and I have called Bothell home the past 55 years. We raised six children in this community that was a safe place to live, work and play. I want to preserve that same environment for all future families.
