I have lived in Eatonville for 25 years, raised 4 children here. During that time, I have been a volunteer for Eatonville Youth Sports Association, PTA President of a local elementary school, and volunteered in many community events.
I strive to work with the other Council members, town staff, and town residents to achieve goals that are beneficial to the town. During this first term, I have been outspoken on several issues, always approaching each issue with a willingness to discuss my position.- Data-driven decision making. I have consistently worked to understand each item presented at council so I can make a well-informed decision. My votes have always reflected what I have thought to be in the best interest of the town.
- I have a desire to keep Eatonville a small town, while allowing for growth and development. This sounds counter-intuitive, I know. But by being careful with the decisions, advocating for things like parks and recreation, and understanding that growth is inevitable, I have attempted to retain the small-town feel.
- Our town has some critical issues facing us in the near future. First is budget, we are not unlike every other town and city in Washington with significant budget constraints. Thoughtful spending is the best course forward, coupled with realistic expectations about what can be accomplished. The second major issue is water. We need to fix our water system to control the losses due to leaking. We need to explore alternative water sources for the town. And we need to work to restrict our dependence on the Mashel River, which is our primary supply.
Listening to the concerns of residents, standing up for what is right, voicing my opinion - these are the qualities that are needed at this level.
Harry Chapin who worked tirelessly to raise money to combat world hunger.
Jimmy Carter whose high ethical standard and humanitarianism described an amazing life.
Richard Feynman who tried to apply science to real-world problems, lived his life boldly, stood up for his beliefs.
Elizabeth Warren who has fearlessly stood up for citizen rights, including her role on the Consumer Protection Agency.
In addition, I am willing to call out what I find to be unethical behavior from others in office. It is an honor to serve as an elected official and you should expect from me transparency and honesty.
His honest evaluation of the mistakes he has made, and there are many, has drawn me to read the book several times.
I encourage everyone to attend Town Council meetings, each 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7:00 pm at the Community Center. Showing up and hearing what is being discussed, asking questions, expecting answers - that partnership between local government and citizens is crucial.
This position is a great role for civic-minded citizens who want to contribute.
