Occupation: 33
years in software and related services; Issaquah City Council
Statement: Issaquah is
a thriving community undergoing rapid change. How we manage growth while
safeguarding our character and sense of community is the task facing our next
Mayor. As a City Councilmember, 33-year area resident, father and
volunteer, it would be an honor to serve you in this role. On Council, I passed
balanced budgets, bolstering public safety and investing in essential
services. I helped save Issaquah's Senior Center, sponsored our
comprehensive pedestrian and bicyclist, and healthy community plans, and worked
with regional leaders to address growth, transportation, and housing needs.
As your
Mayor I'll protect our unique small town culture - our great parks
and open spaces, incredible small businesses, and affordability for young
families and seniors living on fixed incomes.
I am proud
to have the support of outgoing Mayor Fred Butler, parents, small business
owners, and neighbors like you. It would be an honor to earn your vote.
