A little rain (or even a downpour) won’t stop me from knocking on doors! One of the questions I’ve been hearing most often lately is: What political party do you belong to? In Duvall, both the City Council and the Mayor’s office are nonpartisan roles. That’s intentional—our focus is on local challenges like traffic, public safety, managing growth, and protecting the character of our community. These are the issues that impact us every day, and they deserve solutions rooted in Duvall’s needs, not national party politics.
That said, I also understand that people want to know where I personally come from. I’ve always identified as an independent. On social issues, I tend to lean more liberal. I believe strongly in fairness, inclusion, compassion and caring for the most vulnerable populations in Duvall. On fiscal matters, I lean more conservative, with a strong commitment to sustainability, accountability, and ensuring government remains the right size to do its job well without unnecessary expansion.
I don’t fit neatly into a partisan box—and I think that’s a strength in local leadership. It allows me to weigh each issue, each project, and each decision on its own merits and ask one key question: What is best for Duvall?
That’s the perspective I’ve brought to City Council, and it’s the approach I’ll continue to bring as mayor.
