Prior to my appointment as Kitsap County Commissioner, I served our area in the Washington State legislature from 2007-2023. In that role, I worked closely with local elected and community leaders and brought the ideas and concerns of our neighbors to the state capitol. I was the Chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee for 6 years, leading the 49-member body in the development of our state's $65+billion state budget and leading on issues like school funding, fish and wildlife conservation, and transportation.
In the past year I have brought my experiences problem-solving and weaving together different values and interests to help provide a more transparent, inclusive, and responsive county government.- The work of the three Commissioners is especially important as county residents deliberate how we will manage future population growth. We must protect sensitive environmental areas while providing a diversity of affordable housing options in safe and healthy neighborhoods that people love to live in.
- Over the coming years I will continue to lead local partnerships with state and federal officials, including the US Navy, to resolve transportation challenges at Gorst, the Hood Canal Bridge, and Highways 104 and 305, and to to modernize and expand our access to health care services and behavioral health treatment.
- I will continue to champion preservation of our remaining forests, open spaces, and small farms and the protection of Puget Sound, while supporting infrastructure and education advancements that help create job opportunities here.
I entered public service to make sure that we protect our natural environment and provide open spaces, parks, and healthy fish and wildlife populations for future generations. I remain committed to those ideals.
