King County Local Voters Pamphlet

  A Renton resident for over 20 years, I've been a committed volunteer in our municipal government, public schools and neighborhood for many years. I believe I can make a positive difference for Renton as our city moves forward. I appreciate the important role of local government and have the proven leadership to make it work. As Chairman of the Renton Airport Advisory Committee, PTA President, and Vice President of the Kennydale Neighborhood Association, I have experienced the positive impact residents can make for the community when complex issues are addressed with an open mind and a clear understanding of all the facts.

   If elected, I will work diligently to promote economic development in the city through the continued revitalization of key business districts, protect the community by maintaining high-quality police and fire departments, work towards resolving transportation concerns in a fiscally responsible way, and maintain the excellence of our parks programs.

  Citizen Safety is my top priority. I will work to assure that we maintain our excellent safety services. I recognize that these soft economic times present challenges. I will find solutions that do not sacrifice citizen safety services. I have had an opportunity to work with city staff serving as Planning Commissioner, Board of Adjustments member and a participant on the Housing Element Task Force. It is a privilege to contribute time to the Renton Food Bank, Habitat House and the Renton Eagles Auxiliary. Chair Tiffany Park Homeowners Association.
