I hold a BA in Business Management with a focus in Project Management from the University of Arizona. In my professional role, I lead large-scale construction and operational projects in behavioral health—turning complex systems into real help for people in crisis.
My background spans healthcare infrastructure, housing, and parks, managing multimillion-dollar projects for hospitals, revitalizing housing with the Seattle Housing Authority, and improving safety and maintenance in city parks.
As an Allentown resident, I’m passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices and building a more inclusive, people-first approach to leadership. I helped organize Tukwila’s National Night Out and serve regionally on the SCA Emergency Management Advisory Committee and Domestic Violence Initiative Task Force.
Mentorship and workforce access are core to my values. I volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters, AGC, Seattle Children’s, and Ronald McDonald House.
I’m running for election because my work isn’t finished. I’m committed to a Tukwila that’s inclusive, safe, and financially stable—where every resident feels seen, valued, and supported.- I believe in public safety through innovation. I support Tukwila’s co-responder program—pairing mental health professionals with first responders to de-escalate situations, connect folks with services, and reduce unnecessary arrests or ER visits.
- Housing is a human right. I’m committed to streamlining building codes, cutting red tape in permitting, and strengthening tenant protections, so Tukwila remains affordable, rooted, and fair.
- I’ll center inclusivity, human services, and financial stability. I aim to expand Tukwila’s human services team, boost equity in governance, and manage city finances responsibly to sustain essential services.
• Equitable public safety – ensuring safety means protection for everyone.
• Housing & affordability – treating housing as a right, not a privilege.
• Human services & inclusion – expanding access to real support without barriers.
• Financial sustainability – managing city budgets responsibly to protect essential services.
• Environmental & climate equity – advancing Green Tukwila and sustainable infrastructure.
To me, the role combines three key responsibilities: connection, accountability, and stewardship.
Connection means being visible, accessible, and responsive. Tukwila is an incredibly diverse city, and every voice deserves to be heard. A councilmember must bridge perspectives—between residents, businesses, and city staff—to find solutions that work for everyone, not just the loudest few.
Accountability means transparency in decision-making, clear communication with the public, and a willingness to explain the “why” behind each vote. It also means asking tough questions, setting expectations, and ensuring that policy translates into results that improve daily life.
Stewardship means protecting the city’s financial health, planning responsibly for growth, and making sure Tukwila’s limited resources are used wisely. It’s our job to ensure that the city’s budget is balanced, essential services are funded, and long-term investments—like infrastructure, housing, and parks—are sustainable.
Elected Officials:
• Thomas McLeod (Tukwila Mayor)
• Verna Seal, Jovita McConnell, Joe Camacho (Tukwila City Councilmembers)
• De’Sean Quinn (King County Councilmember)
• Kathy Hougardy, Kate Kruller, Pam Carter, Joe Duffie (former Tukwila councilmembers)
• Carlee Hoover (Tukwila School Board President)
• Satwinder Kaur (Kent City Council)
• Ryan McIrvin & Ed Prince (Renton City Council)
Organizations:
• MLK Labor
• Transit Riders Union
• King County Democrats
• 11th Legislative District Democrats
Finishing that degree wasn’t about perfection; it was about persistence. I had to relearn how to focus, rebuild my confidence, and figure out how to keep going when everything got harder than it should’ve been. It taught me what resilience really looks like—not the glossy version, but the kind that’s messy and stubborn and rooted in grit.
