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.
