“Prevention today saves us from trouble tomorrow.”

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, while shopping and going to school, and on the roads. In Lynnwood, that means investing wisely in the basics: first responders, well-maintained streets, and strong emergency systems that prepare us for the unexpected.

Whether that’s acts of violence or extreme weather, we need infrastructure and transportation that keeps everyone safe. In times of crisis, public safety is about how we care for each other.

That’s why I support expanding mental health and crisis response services that can meet people where they are. Safety isn’t about fear—it’s about prevention, preparation, and compassion. We need efficient, community-centered safety strategies that make all of our neighborhoods stronger.

“Lifting everyone up is care that works.”

After a lifetime of hard work, people deserve a city that has their back. Real care means building systems that support us throughout life: reliable healthcare, strong public services, quality schools, and fair wages that reflect the cost of living.

We must protect the programs that support working families, seniors, and small businesses—not chip away at them. I believe in parks and public spaces that build connection, and in helping people not just survive, but thrive. Care isn’t a handout—it’s a hand-up, built on dignity and shared responsibility.

We need leaders who will fight for policies that create opportunity and protect what we’ve built together. It’s time we put people before profits and create a local economy where everyone—young and old—can shine.

“Coming together, keeping together, and working together.”

Inclusion is more than just opening the door—it means making everyone feel welcome and want to stay. In Lynnwood, inclusion means building a city where everyone feels they belong—whether you’ve lived here for fifty years or just arrived.

It starts with affordable housing and childcare, giving working families a fair shot at a secure future. It means tackling rising costs with policies that put people first, not profits. Real inclusion goes beyond checking boxes—it’s about protecting workers, expanding opportunity, and making sure every resident has the chance to succeed.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) aren’t buzzwords—they’re the key to building the Lynnwood we all deserve: one that is stronger, fairer, and truly connected. Inclusion gives every person, no matter their background, the opportunity to be seen, valued, and heard.
