Statement:
As Mayor for the past six years, I have worked with the council, staff and citizens to accomplish many projects including the Interurban Trail, Veteran’s Memorial and City Festivals that promote community. We have also secured financing for major street and sidewalk projects that will enhance our community. Through watchful, conservative financial practices, our City is positioned to weather the financial downturn without diminishing services to our citizens. Even though I have worked diligently to promote the City in our Puget Sound Region by serving on numerous committees and successfully lobbying at the State Legislature to pass legislation that benefits Milton, building and protecting our community values and quality of life is my passion and the focus of decisions made daily. I look forward to promoting and protecting our rich quality of life in the next four years. I ask for your vote.

The past 10 years I have served the City of Milton, the past 7 on your city council. I have been your mayor pro tem and served on many committees. I have listened and learned and have seen both the good and bad in local politics. I believe that we need open and honest government. We need strong leadership with a fresh set of eyes to bring the city together and to move the city forward. I feel a change is needed. Thank you for your support.
