Community First
Everett is a beautiful community to live in, to work in, and to play in and we deserve city council members dedicated to keeping it that way. South Everett is no stranger to neglect, but my pledge to you is to fight day in and day out to ensure equitable resource distribution while always centering the principles of listening to, learning from, and engaging with our community.
Since my Freshman year at Mariner High School, I have deeply loved this community like so many of you and believe in giving back. After years of participation on volunteer commissions and boards, I’m humbled to ask for your vote to serve on City Council. If elected, I will focus on ensuring fiscal responsibility without cutting the heart of our community, development without displacement, and public safety without over-policing.
