Resident Bellevue since 1956.
Married; two children who attended Bellevue public schools. Active in
Parent-Faculty clubs at Clyde Hill, Chinook Junior High, and Bellevue High School.
Served on various city
committees including former Bike-Ped Committee; currently on Access Downtown
committee.
In 1956 Bellevue was a small town. Many things have changed in intervening
years. Believe it would
improve quality of community if we elected council people from seven different
regions of city; citizens of
each area should select and vote for their council member. This would greatly
reduce cost of running for
council and would place power in local area. Council members should select
mayor from their membership;
the council members would hire a professional to administer or manage city
government.
Received bachelor degree Political Science WSU; graduate study University
of Washington.

I love Bellevue. I have an interest
in seeing that we have the most effective government possible. While
I believe Bellevue is a well-run city, I am interested in reviewing the process
to see if there is a way to make
it better. It is important to have citizens on the charter drafting team
who are objective, and don’t have
preconceived notions about what form a new charter should take.
My husband and I have a son in preschool through BCC, and a daughter at
Somerset Elementary. I am
an attorney in private practice, and have experience working in government.
I believe in giving back to the
community through active volunteerism. I am a director of Women Business
Owners and Chairperson of
my son’s preschool co-op. I am active in the Washington State Bar Association.
I previously served as Vice-
Chairperson of the Citizen Advocacy Panel to Improve the IRS.
