I show up at meetings you are already attending- Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, church, HOA, etc.. If you haven't seen me recently- or if there is something you want to talk about- invite me.
At these I am always willing to share the agendas from the last four council meetings and those upcoming and ask of those present "what items are pertinent to you?" and " who do you know who should be 'at the table' for these conversations?"
The deliverables: better policy, better support for policy, more trust, lower costs

Proper stewardship of the environment, affordable housing, supporting the homeless, parking, economic development, race relations... On all subjects, I will stay in the room with difference and partner to find solutions that work.
Whenever we un-earth an element that we can tackle, let's tackle it. I would pose that most big issues are just a series of small issues.

Our downtown is charming and we want to keep it that way.

Our downtown is charming and we want to keep it that way.
With MANY of our one-story downtown buildings approaching the end of their life, our charming downtown will be another version of charming - or not- based on what the codes and architectural design board allow to be built in their stead. There is work to do in the immediate future to protect the look and feel of downtown Edmonds.
There is also a need for new and better amenities in other parts of our City. I care about "what is fair" and have a track record of voting accordingly.
