It is time that Vashon had a Fire Commissioner who knows first-hand what it
is like to serve as a firefighter. In addition to my 16 years as a state and
federal prosecutor, I have served as a firefighter on Vashon since 1998. Being a
firefighter has taught me to trust Vashon’s paramedics, officers, and
firefighters. Unfortunately, being a firefighter has also allowed me to witness
the bitterness and frustration caused by Commissioners who sometimes act more
like our adversaries than our governing board. If elected, I will work with and
not against the Fire Department to fulfil our community’s needs. I will expand
the Department’s role in Vashon’s Emergency and Disaster Response Plan, and will
address and resolve our future needs for Advanced Life Support services. Most of
all, I will restore and preserve the neighborly spirit of Vashon that is such a
tradition in our Fire Department.
CAMPAIGN ADDRESS: 19232 Ridge RD, Vashon, WA

Community service is important. In the 14 years I have lived on Vashon, I
have been active in many volunteer organizations. A few of these are: the Vashon
Fire Department for 12 years; the Strawberry Festival Committee for 7 years; and
the Holiday Open house committee for 9 years. As a homeowner, I care where and
how my tax dollars are spent. I am qualified for this position because I was a
dispatcher, First Responder, and an EMT with the Vashon Fire Department. I was
president of the Fireman’s Association for 3 years. The Vashon Fire Department
gave a lot to me when I was a member. I would like to give back to the
department and to my community by serving as a commissioner. I would appreciate
your vote. Thank you.
