Through my Public service and military experience, I have found that leadership, honesty and service to others matter. If elected I will listen to all citizens and consider their perspective in making decisions that are in the best interests of our City. In my careers I have worked with both large and small budgets as a finance officer and will bring this knowledge and expertise to our City Council.
It is important that as our city grows our leadership needs to ensure citizens are not over-burdened by policies that restrict or hinder their rights as property owners. It is also important to control our city’s budget and taxes. That’s why I am running for the Fircrest City Council. We need proven leaders who will keep us moving in the right direction by listening to our citizens, if elected I will bring my reputation as an approachable friendly professional to the Council. I have lived in University Place and Fircrest since 1982 and have raised my children and grandchildren here. Fircrest is a great place to live and with your support, we can make it better.
