For the past few years I have been heavily involved in the Friends of the Sumas Library (FOSL), a small non-profit that supports our local library branch and celebrates our town. You may have seen me jumping on the microphone every chance I get at Movie in the Park, or selling baked goods during a December downpour to those wishing to meet Santa. If you attended the Sumas Days parade, you likely saw me wrangling a dinosaur down the street while handing out bookmarks.
Growing up my family moved every few years. Having lived in 8 different states, it is surprisingly difficult to answer the question "Where are you from?" Is it where I was born? Where I lived the longest? Where I graduated high school? After moving to Sumas in the summer of 2020, that question got significantly easier to answer. Despite a rough first year involving a heat dome and the historic worst flooding to ever hit the area, I have never felt a sense of "home" like I do living in this small town.- My priority is enhanced community communication. During the 2020 flood, finding reliable city information was challenging as we had to rely on Facebook updates and community groups. While our new alert system helps, we need easy-to-use information resources that the city controls directly. I want to create a simple way for residents to find important information about emergency updates, local business promotions, community events, and connect with neighbors without navigating social media.
- Quality of life improvements matter. We should encourage new businesses that build community connections and create gathering spaces. Cherry Street's south side lacks crosswalks near homes and businesses like our drug store. Pedestrian safety deserves attention, especially with families walking to local businesses.
- Walking our dog around town with my wife, I've grown to love this community deeply. Community connection drives my candidacy. Our differences as neighbors give us a complete picture of community needs, and everyone deserves a voice in shaping Sumas. The city should facilitate discussing what's working and concerns us, while taking advantage of established community knowledge of families who have called this area home for generations. The platforms to make our voices heard matter in making Sumas an even better place to call home.
