top issues

As a current City Councilor, I see a need for increased transparency and renewed focus on affordability for Redmond residents.  Our current City Council is active, and engaged. We're doing a lot of things well, and with more transparency we can be better community partners and leaders.

As a current City Councilor, I opted to run for Mayor because I see the opportunities for increased transparency, process improvements, and community collaboration that previous Mayors did not. 

Redmond is facing a fork in the road on multiple issues including cannabis and psilocybin, and I believe the community should be part of the conversation.  

When I ran for my Council position in 2022, I talked a lot about our community being crushed by rising cost of gas, food, and housing prices. Today, in 2024, inflation and rising cost of everything, has only squeezed us tighter.

As a small business owner, active community volunteer serving on local non-profit boards, and in my profession as a REALTOR, I understand this skyrocketing cost of living is unsustainable for families and businesses alike. As I have on the City Council and Planning Commission, my top priority will continue be to drive down housing prices by increasing supply, and avoiding unnecessary city red tape. The City of Redmond can’t fix inflation on its own, but we must do our part to help in those areas we can.
