A Little Bit About Me

amymcforduvall

I’m not always the first to speak. Often, I’m the last—because I want to make sure everyone has had a chance to be heard.

For me, leadership isn’t about rushing to give my opinion. It’s about making space, listening carefully, and helping to bring people together around shared solutions. That’s how we build trust, and it’s how we make decisions that last.

This isn’t the style of leadership we often see in politics today—but I believe it’s exactly what we need more of. My colleagues on City Council have trusted me with the role of Mayor Pro Tem not once, but twice, because they’ve seen that I can facilitate conversations with respect and balance, even when viewpoints differ.

Leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room—it’s about creating the conditions for collaboration and making sound, balanced decisions. That’s the kind of leadership I’ll continue to bring as your next mayor.

Celebrating Duvall’s Diversity

One of the things I love most about Duvall is how our community comes together to celebrate all of who we are. From cultural festivals to events that uplift our LGBTQ+ neighbors, these moments of connection remind us that community is built by celebrating both what we share and what makes each of us unique.

When we create space for everyone to be seen and valued, we build a stronger, more resilient Duvall. That’s the kind of leadership I believe in—making sure every voice belongs at the table and every neighbor feels welcome.

Our differences don’t divide us here—they make us richer, more creative, and more connected. And together, we can keep building a Duvall where everyone feels at home.

I cannot tell you how difficult it was to capture both my love for our community and my vision for its future in just 150 words—but I did my best to share what drives me every day.

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday: Kitten Yoga Edition

One of my favorite fostering memories was bringing our foster kittens (a litter of 5!) to kitten yoga! Watching people light up while the kittens played reminded me that fostering isn’t just about caring for animals—it’s about creating moments of connection, building community, and sharing the work of organizations that make a difference.

That’s the same spirit I bring to my campaign: leadership that’s about more than policies on paper—it’s about engaging with people, lifting up the good work happening around us, and finding ways to bring joy and connection into our community.

Whether it’s fostering kittens or shaping policy, I believe Duvall thrives when we work together, support one another, and make space for both care and community.

Have you ever tried kitten yoga—or another activity that brought people together in an unexpected way?
