King County Local Voters Pamphlet

I'm proud to call Kirkland my hometown. It is a special place, defined by small town character, natural beauty, friendly and involved citizens. My commitment, leadership, and experience will help preserve this quality of life and find solutions to the challenges we face. I have a proven record of leadership on the Planning Commission, Park Board, and Neighborhood Association. Skills, knowledge, and bringing people together to get results describe my experience as a community leader.

Together we can maintain Kirkland's core values of strengthening our sense of community, protecting the environment, building a strong economy, providing quality city services, and including everyone in the process. Strong neighborhoods, a healthy business community, effective and responsive city government will allow Kirkland to remain livable for all of its citizens. Please help bring my leadership to the City Council.

Jeff, a Washington State University graduate with a Bachelor of Architecture degree, is a life long resident and 15 year business owner in Kirkland.
