Background

“I envision a Burien that is vibrant, affordable, and safe for everyone. I ran on affordability, safer streets for bicyclists and pedestrians, and government transparency and accountability, and I intend to act on these priorities. I’d like to see more housing opportunities for working families and communities that are more enjoyable and safer for people who walk and bike. I’m committed to being responsive to public input and to doing everything I can to make our city better, from fixing potholes to fixing street lights. If I don’t respond to an email, let me know. And I plan to have regular meet & greets with the public, so please come! I love this city, our many excellent businesses, our beautiful parks, and above all, our good people.”
