I’ve been getting asked what my ideas are for Duvall—and I do have them. Plenty. But here’s what I believe: the best ideas for our city don’t come from one person. They come from listening, asking good questions, and working together—with our community, City Council, and city staff. So instead of starting with a plan set in stone, I want to start with a conversation. One idea I’d love to explore with you is restoring and enhancing our historic cemetery. Cemeteries aren’t just places of rest—they’re places of memory, history, and community identity. As I’ve visited cemeteries in other towns, I’ve seen how thoughtful restoration can both honor those who came before us and create a space that reflects the pride of the community. Restoration also gives us the chance to address past oversights and ensure every family’s story is remembered with dignity. Communities across the country are beginning to do this work, and I believe Duvall can too. We’ve already seen success with the grant funding secured for the Dougherty Farmstead. By building on that momentum and pursuing additional grants, we can invest in preserving this historic gem and others. Would this be meaningful to you? What kinds of improvements would you like to see?
