| Collapse all
I have been in public service for 40 years in a non-traditional field for women. In 1988 I was recruited by Metro (King County) to become a Wastewater Operator. I continued my education and advanced to Supervisor position. In 2004 I accepted an Assistant Division Manager position in Tacoma. I completed my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. I completed a Dispute Resolution Certification and volunteered on a Community Accountability Board (CAB) in Pierce County. In 2011 I accepted a treatment plant manager’s position in Edmonds, managing O&M budgets and capital projects focused on sustainability. I continued my education, mentored other women and people of color and, I volunteered to teach a class at the Monroe Correctional Facility. I am an active member of the Pacific Northwest Clean Water Association (PNCWA). I received the the William D. Hatfield Award for Outstanding Performance and Professionalism. My career accomplishments allowed me to raise my two Native American boys. When I became a single parent in 1991. As a creative solution, I invited my sister, and her three Hispanic children to live with us in Washington. I have a son who has experienced homelessness and drug addiction. I have two grandchildren who love to bake brownies, blow bubbles, and dance with complete abandonment. I am running for State Representative to ensure our youth and families can achieve the American dream of home ownership, independence and true freedom!
- Crime and Public Safety - State Representatives have promoted legislation that have harmed our communities. The evidence is the increase of community crime. Whether it is due to homelessness, addiction, lack of officers or just our unwillingness to hold those who perpetuate crimes accountable, it is out of control. We do not have a lack of laws; we have a failure to enforce the law. Misguided compassion has replaced accountability. I have known and helped those on the street. We need to support those seeking help to get off the streets, until they can stand on their own. A turn to crime, whether it be through homelessness, addiction or delinquency is my priority!
- Education - Our families and children are our future! We must support parents to make the best choices for their children whether it is choosing the best public or charter school, understanding the curriculum that their children are engaged in, access to tutoring support when needed for core subjects or by increasing vocational programs and secondary education choices. Increased funding is not needed, efficiencies can be found. Research shows that secondary students are better able to focus when they have a later start time. Research also shows that younger children are more successful with longer recess periods. These changes alone will support the needs of children based on development and will enhance their learning.
- Affordability - WA residents are taxed at the highest rate in the country. By reducing taxes, increasing family tax credits, reducing permitting fees, providing for true property tax relief, and supporting job creation through small businesses, we can support families and let the people decide how best to utilize their resources! I oppose the WA Saves program for this reason. I will work to ensure the state programs designed to support veterans and children are effective and efficient. I am an advocate for the bipartisan initiative process in which the people have a say in what is important to them first by their signature and second by their vote! I will oppose increasing taxes until efficiencies are realized and a true need established.
I am passionate about education, affordability and family support. Many people who are being forced to leave their home due to the increases in property taxes. Parents have limited choices in education options. Social engineering versus a focus on education only serves to lower standards to the point of failure. I recognize that homelessness and addiction has increased despite increased funding. We need to change course!
I am also passionate about preserving our resources and the environment however the conflicting priorities of Federal, State, and local government vs. environmental conservation vs. a sustainable future make this difficult. By opening communication between these entities we can better serve individual communities.

Ronald Reagan because he worked across the isle. His policies reduced inflation, promoted peace, reduced unemployment. He is attributed to stopping the cold war and ending soviet communism. Reagan was able to work with people who held different perspectives and resolve differences. In my opinion, he was a strong leader.
Atlas Shrugged
Patience, perseverance and integrity are required. Listening for understanding is key. The principles of interested based decision making is helpful. The ability to evaluate the long term consequences of the decision before them. And most important, while understanding that they represent their district's interests, they realize the legislation they promote effects the entire state.
I have been in an non-traditional field my entire career, and I have raised a family. I recognize that every issue we are faced with is not necessarily the next emergency. I have learned to focus on issues that I can effect. My perseverance, integrity and willingness to do the right thing have proven to be my valued assets.
Show up! Listen. Be engaged. Offer approaches that address the defined problem.
I would like my legacy to be that I made of difference in the lives of my family and in the lives of people I have met. Against the odds, I succeeded.
The 1969 moon landing. I was 8.
My first job was delivering papers in Tempe AZ as a teenager. I held this job for over a year (almost 2) because I could work it before school started. When I got a little older, I then moved on to Whataburger!
1984 is my favorite book because it is short and relevant to world events.
Francisco d’Anconia
This little light of mine. My grandkids like singing the song, over and over again.
I have struggled with my adult son's addiction and his choice to be homeless for over 10 years. I would not wish this experience on any parent.
The governor should listen to the state legislature and not use executive action to bypass the process. Ideally the relationship is respectful in that they do not disparage each other.
Affordability - we are becoming divided between the have's and have nots. People need to be able to make choices for their family, own a home and participate in the American dream.
No, In fact I believe that citizens should serve 1 - 2 terms then leave office. We have too many career politicians and this has destroyed our confidence in government.
It is beneficial to build relationships with other legislators. The value of building relationships is that we often approach issues from different perspectives. By working together to find bipartisan effective solutions that address the concern.
Not that I can think of.
I would interested in running for a City Council position. I do believe we should be involved in our community.
I met a woman in Sammamish who started crying because she was being forced to move from her home. Her and her husband are on a limited budget and can not afford the property tax increases. They had located a seniors rental unit in another city but would be leaving the house behind, the house raised their family in.
You heard the rumor going around about butter?
Never mind, I shouldn’t spread it.
The legislature should oversee the use of emergency powers and grant them on a very limited basis.
I would introduce legislation that requires performance audits of all programs and policies. The legislation will will also include clear program performance standards .
I have answered many questionnaires and am awaiting notification.
I would welcome serving on the Education, Community Safety Justice and re-entry, Human services, youth and early learning, Environment and energy. However, I am open to serving in whatever capacity I am assigned.
The government should be held to the highest standard regarding financial transparency. We need to have an audit of all government programs and enforce accountability standards. If measures are not in place, we need to create them. Never again should the people hear stories about lost money or that the problem got worse once we focused on it. We need to measure the results of programs and determine whether or not to keep them or defund them.
I support the Initiative process. We have seen true bipartisan support with this tool and it sends a loud message of what "We the People" want and need.
