Candidate Statement
I’m proud to have been selected to represent you on the South [Snohomish] County (SCF) Regional Fire Authority (RFA) Board of Fire Commissioners. I need your help to continue working as one of your SCF Commissioners. My Private sector lens allows me to insure your tax-dollars are well spent.
I have more to do on your behalf including: safeguarding that we have appropriate staffing levels to support our aging community (people and buildings), develop fiscal policies to avoid the need for a bond to fund our aging fire stations and fleet (apparatus), continue community outreach/ education and relationship building for optimal efficiencies and maximum service to your needs.
Since my appointment in January 2022, my service has included: appointed to the Snohomish County 911 (Sno911) board, attended Fire Operations 101, elected chair of the SCF Board of Fire Commissioners (by my peers), helped bring the cites of Mill Creek, Brier & Mountlake Terrace into SCF, facilitated and unprecedented 5 year contract with the firefighters union, re-elected chair of the Board of Fire Commissioners (2023), visited all 15 fire stations to meet with the firefighters beyond the commissioner meetings.
