Why I Am Running

As a veteran & public affairs professional, I understand that leadership is built on trust. I’ll bring open, honest communication to City Hall through weekly updates, regular town halls & consistent, two-way dialogue. You should never feel left out of the conversation.

In the Army, I was taught to ask, “How do we get to yes?” I will bring that same mindset to City Hall—focusing on solutions, not roadblocks. I don’t just talk about problems. I find resources, build coalitions & execute. As Mayor, I’ll bring a bias for action & a deep commitment to the people of Washington.

Growth should enhance our community, not erase it. I’ll prioritize walkability & bikability, sustainability & development that reflects Washington’s character. Together, we can grow in a way that strengthens what we love about our town.

Residents shouldn’t have to fight to be heard. As Mayor, I will ensure city decisions are made in partnership with the people. That means inclusive planning, accessible information & a city government that works with you, not around you. I’ll make it easier to understand, access & participate in the decisions shaping our future.
