My family and I have lived in
Bellevue for 20 years. Our children went to Bellevue schools and graduated
from Newport HS. I am running for the charter commission because I want our form
of government to remain
efficient and responsive to the people. Here are my qualifications to serve on
the commission:
- Attorney specializing in municipal law for 28 years
- Have worked with many cities and different forms of government
- Served as attorney to the Snohomish County Freeholders and helped
draft their Charter
- Elected three terms on the Bellevue School Board
- Past board member Eastside YMCA.
If elected, I will contribute my experience and knowledge of government to
objectively analyze Bellevue’s
current form of government, determine what changes would be beneficial
and make the appropriate
recommendation to the voters.
I ask for your support and vote on May 20. Thank you.
