Since early this year, I’ve shared my perspectives on leadership. When I talk about leading with love, I don’t just mean words—I mean action.
Love shows up in how we prioritize safety.
It shows up in how we design public spaces that welcome everyone.
It shows up in how we invest in programs that lift up families and support neighbors when they need it most.
Leading with love means weaving compassion into the fabric of city decisions. It means policies that reflect people’s real needs, budgets that reflect our shared values, and a city vision that reflects our hopes for the future.
Love isn’t passive—it’s active. It’s how we create a Duvall that doesn’t just work well, but feels like home.
