I've been a business owner for 20 years. I am the controller for my family's business. Before starting a business I was responsible for budgeting and marketing for a university extension program and worked my way up to supervising staff in multiple departments. I have been an active community volunteer in search and rescue, the PTA, the Food Bank, and the Lions Club, among others. My husband and I have been married 33 years and raised two children. Our oldest recently completed an apprenticeship to become an automotive technician and our youngest just started college to teach and go into the ministry.
My path to being Mayor started 10 years ago when my oldest kid came home upset because he heard that his beloved skate park was going to be destroyed. I helped him and his friends go to a City Council meeting to speak up about their concerns, and I was so impressed by the experience that I promised them I would go to all of the meetings regarding the skate park and speak up on their behalf. I went to meetings of the Council, Parks Board, Planning Commission, and others, and I spoke up for the kids at every opportunity. After months, one of the committee members who was a former Councilmember asked me to run for Council. I initially laughed, but she kept asking and I gave in. I ran for Council and won and worked really hard at it for 4 years. In 2020 multiple people asked me to run for Mayor, and it has been one of the most meaningful things I've ever done.
- I have been a good custodian of your dollars. The City is financially stable, with healthy reserves, clean audits, and no budget deficit, unlike many others. Every spending decision has been made to balance costs against benefits, and large projects only move forward when they are fiscally responsible. I enacted cost-effective solutions to concerns such as road and pedestrian safety, and staff have been certified as arborists and installers for park equipment so the City can more quickly and less expensively handle maintenance of our parks. I also pushed for improvements to our permitting processes, and a recent analysis showed we have the fastest process in the surrounding area.
- I have been proactive about investing your money back into City services - water, sewer, police, and streets - to prevent failures and ensure reliable service. I tackled the challenge of planning for a unified city services campus that will save taxpayer money, provide better services, and free up city owned property in our business district to grow private jobs. The City has known for decades that current facilities are inadequate to serve our community. A recent professional assessment estimated that we must spend over just 20 years almost as much to fix and maintain current facilities as we could spend instead over 40 years to build something that will serve generations. The fiscally responsible choice is obvious.
- Taking care of a community isn't just about taking care of its financial resources. We must also care for the members of our community. During my term, we activated many proactive plans to ensure road and pedestrian safety, such as Multi-Modal Improvement, Complete Streets, and ADA Transition. We now have a Community Navigator to ensure access to services for our residents, and a Community Services Officer for community-focused policing that better serves the needs of Snohomish. More members of our community than ever are represented in community-led events, such Pride, Holi, interfaith dinners, and Dia de Muertos. And we made sure housing that's appropriate for our community can be built, such as accessory dwelling units.
I am passionate about ensuring everyone has a voice, including youth. During my first year as a Councilmember, I helped to start a Youth Council, which I still support as an advisor. This group allows the City Council and me to hear youth concerns and hopes so we can try to address them in our policy decisions. Because I want everyone to have a voice, I've tried to ensure that everyone has access to information and to the process of government. Under my leadership, we enhanced transparency and access, providing more public feedback events than ever, instituted an online budget book that will soon allow anyone to track the progress of large projects, and will be launching an online public records tool that will expand access to records.
Honesty, courage, humility, curiosity, empathy, and grit.
Enact the policies and priorities of Council, support and direct City staff in carrying out that work, be the face and voice of the community to the world at large, and ensure that all members of the community are heard and represented by their government.
The fall of Saigon. Four.
Hotel maid. One summer.
Being a leader means listening to and learning from the community, and translating that into action that responds to what the community needs, including making courageous and sometimes difficult choices in the best interests of the community.
How much the community cares and works to support each other.
The ideal relationship is one of mutual collaboration, support, and respect.
Senator John Lovick, Representative April Berg, Representative Brandy Donaghy, County Executive Dave Somers, Sheriff Susanna Johnson, County Treasurer Brian Sullivan
It is the same story, told by many different members of the community. Whether it is because of Pride, Holi, or interfaith events, each person has thanked me for the part I have been honored to play in ensuring that members of our community are able to safely be who they are, in community with others.
Even though some people try to portray me as some kind of radical because I won't discriminate against the LGBTQ community or Muslims, I have been a Mayor representing everyone in town, even people I don't agree with, because that is my job and I take that responsibility seriously.
