I am asking for your support for the Bellevue Charter Commission.

I am an independent candidate without affiliation with either the pro or con side which means I will have an open mind regarding certain key issues such as an elected mayor and council members by district. I believe in establishing a credible program that provides a balance for neighborhood concerns.

My experiences will add positive factors in deciding a city government for the future. We need to insure responsibility and accountability with a minimum of bureaucratic barriers and excessive costs for public services.

I am a lifelong Eastside resident and a 10-year Bellevue resident. My experiences include 8 years as a King County commissioner, bank director, school board director and Darigold Farms director.

I believe government should be effective, efficient, representative, and responsive. Since receiving community leadership training through Advance Bellevue, I have been serving the citizens of Bellevue on the Bellevue Parks & Community Services Board and the West Lake Hills Neighborhood Investment Strategy CAC. If the Charter measure passes, I would like to further serve as a member of the Charter Commission. If elected, I will work to write a Charter which allows Bellevue to retain a government which represents and is responsive to the interests and needs of ALL of its citizens and neighborhoods. I will do the research necessary to write a Charter which ensures that Bellevue remains fiscally sound and is a place where businesses flourish and where every citizen has the best quality of life possible. Whether you vote YES or NO on the Charter, please vote yes for me as Freeholder Position #9.

I have resided in Bellevue for over thirty years and have taught in the Bellevue School District at Stevenson Elementary within the Crossroads neighborhood for twenty years. My mission in the classroom is to educate young people so that they are prepared to assume the highest office of the land— Citizen— by fostering academic competence along with the decision making skills necessary for effective participation in a democratic society within a complex, interdependent world. I want to model this citizen participation for my students through collaborating with other citizens as a member of the Bellevue Charter Commission. I strongly believe that all of us working together to further the common good, while valuing diverse perspectives, will determine the best form of government for Bellevue as it advances into the future— all for one city and one city for all!

Bellevue has seen dramatic change since its founding. We are now a highly diverse population, living in well-defined communities. Some neighborhoods are older and require renewal. Some are newer and desire enhanced services. Still others have a mix of ethnic and economic backgrounds with different concerns. This diversity calls for city leadership closely attuned to all our neighborhoods.

Choosing our mayor by vote of all the electorate, and electing our city council by local community will provide an effective balance of local community needs with commitment to citywide progress. I will bring my professional consulting and management leadership experience at two of the US’ largest management consulting organizations, as well as community service work in several of America’s other great cities, to help shape Bellevue’s future. I live with my family in Surrey Downs and serve as Vice President and Internet Services Coordinator of the Surrey Downs Community Club.
