Frequently Asked Questions

I have been involved in our local policy issues over 5 years and this material is a culmination of ideas and agreements coming from many discussions in our community.

I want endorsements that represent alignment with my dedication to our community. My loyalty is to the public not other elected leaders so I have avoided endorsements from current colleagues or future colleagues for this reason. 

My whole focus over the last several years was to identify actions that I can influence at our local level. All these policies are local.

I have been working with Councilmembers Donovan, Buchanan, Frasey, Galloway, Kershner, Elenbaas, and Byrd for several years. As a Planning Commissioner and PUD Commissioner I have supported our constituents, advanced concerns regarding projects, and delivered policy recommendations. I have attended, presented and spoken at several council meetings

I expect to pursue every priority I have listed. Many of the ideas I list require can be advanced through direct action in the community. Others can be undertaken without new sources of funding. and these fiscal impacts are a key reason why policy proposals are not adopted. A few of them will require real dedication and support from the community.
