Duvall Chamber Q&A

Here’s the next question from the Chamber’s Candidate Town Hall on how we lead, collaborate, and engage as a community.

Q: Transparency and communication are frequent concerns. What changes would you make to improve how the City communicates about projects, policies, and decisions that affect businesses and families?

A: I believe government should be as open and accessible as possible. Transparency builds trust, and trust builds a stronger city.

As mayor, I’d improve communication by:

• Expanding digital communication tools—like short project update videos, social media summaries, and a modernized city website that’s easier to navigate.

• Providing early, plain-language summaries of major projects so residents can engage before decisions are made.

• Bringing City Hall into the community—through pop-up listening sessions, neighborhood meetings, and business walkabouts.
