Why I’m Running

I have lived in the University District since the eighth grade and have witnessed its evolution over the years.

I'm running because I want to help the residents of the 46th District thrive. I want to change the culture in the Washington Legislature so that it works for the people of the 46th District and for communities throughout the state. I want that change to start with me.

Too many people feel ignored by their elected officials. From national representatives to local leaders, communication is often slow or incomplete. Constituents deserve timely responses and basic respect from the people who represent them.

I’m running as an independent because too many elected officials fall in line with party leadership instead of focusing on the people they serve. A legislator’s first obligation should be to the constituents. An elected official should always ask themselves what’s best for the people and not what’s best for the party or for those who want to hold power.
