SCA Nominating Committee

Building Regional Power for Small Cities Like Duvall

Since 2023, I’ve had the honor of serving on the Sound Cities Association (SCA) Nominating Committee—the group responsible for recommending which city leaders from across King County serve on regional boards and committees.

Why does this matter for Duvall?

Because representation matters. From transportation and public health to housing and climate policy, these regional boards make decisions that directly impact our community. I’ve worked to ensure that appointments reflect diverse voices, balanced geography, and the real needs of smaller cities like ours.

One of my proudest accomplishments: helping get more Snoqualmie Valley leaders onto key regional boards—including a Carnation City Councilmember appointed to a regional growth board where our valley hadn’t been as well represented in the past. Our communities matter, and we deserve a seat at every table where decisions are being made.

It’s behind-the-scenes work—but it’s how we make sure Duvall isn’t left behind.
