I appreciated the chance to talk about my vision for Kirkland, how to address challenges of affordability and displacement, and promote equity in our work.

All candidates were invited. Only Neal Black (running for position 3), Shilpa Prem (running for position 5), Kurt Dresner (running for position 7) and I (running for position 1) showed up. Other candidates refused to participate or RSVP’d and later cancelled.

I was an engineer and test manager on several of Microsoft’s flagship projects. I bring the strategic and analytical skills I learned to my work on Council.

Thank you to the Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance for organizing a thoughtful candidate forum last night. I appreciated talking about trees, transit, and my priorities for Kirkland's future.

The Bridle Trails / South Rose Hill neighborhood association’s candidate forum was a great opportunity to talk about neighborhood-specific issues, such as the proposed Kraken iceplex, future of their neighborhood shopping center, and the status of the transfer station.

and I want our kids to have the same opportunities I had. We need to make Kirkland more affordable for everyone, at all ages and stages of life.  At the same time, we want to build connections to walk or bike around the city safely, and create cool places nearby to dine, shop, and play.
We can do this!

I’ll be doing a series of videos on key topics in our community. I’ll kick it off with parks.

Parks are a priority for me and essential to our quality of life. My support of Kirkland parks began even before I was elected to the City Council.

I've gotten some questions about ballots received this week. The primary only has city council races with three or more people on the ballot.

While I am not on the primary ballot, two Kirkland City Council races do have a primary. Your ballot must be returned by Tuesday, August 5th.

My opponent and I will be on your general election ballot in November.

Thank you to everyone that attended my campaign kickoff happy hour.

I had my kickoff at Juanita Village was because I wanted to illustrate the importance of places in Kirkland: those favorite spots to we get together, maybe where everyone knows your name.
