Voter Statement

✨ Big news, Duvall! ✨

Voter statements for the 2025 General Election are available online today!

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.

For me, it all comes down to believing the best is yet to come for Duvall. And with the support of neighbors like you, I know we can continue building a future rooted in connection, care, and a deep love for this community we call home.

Thank you for walking alongside me on this journey—it means more than words can say. Ballots get mailed about 3 weeks before the election, so watch your mail and remember to vote by November 4th – for the LOVE of DUVall!

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?

Small-Town Businesses

Our small-town businesses are the heart of Duvall 💙 From coffee shops to family-run restaurants, they’re where we gather, where our kids get their first jobs, and where so many of our traditions are rooted.

As a small business owner myself, I know how important it is for the city to support—not hinder—local businesses. When they thrive, our whole community thrives. 🌟 I’d love to hear from you: 👉 What can Duvall be doing better to support our local businesses?

Why Experience Matters in the Mayor’s Office

Being mayor isn’t just about cutting ribbons or leading meetings—it’s about knowing how to navigate complex systems, advocate for our city’s needs, and deliver results that improve daily life for residents.

That’s where legislative experience makes a difference. Understanding how policies are shaped, budgets are negotiated, and partnerships are built means we don’t lose time learning the ropes. Instead, we can move quickly and effectively to bring resources home to Duvall.

Advocacy experience is equally important. Our city doesn’t exist in a bubble—we rely on county, regional, and state partners for funding, infrastructure, and services. A mayor who knows how to advocate, collaborate, and build relationships ensures Duvall’s voice is heard and our priorities don’t get lost in the shuffle.

The role of mayor is about more than vision—it’s about turning vision into action. And that takes both legislative know-how and the ability to advocate effectively for our community.

That’s the kind of leadership I’m ready to bring to Duvall.

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday to so many great memories volunteering in our schools!

Whether it was pasting poems into poetry books for kindergartners, reading one-on-one with students in the hallways, helping at the student store, or supporting special events like Field Day—I’ve always loved being involved in our children’s schools.

Those small moments—seeing a student light up while reading, helping a class celebrate their creativity, or simply being an extra set of hands on a busy day—remind me how important it is for our community to show up for kids and educators.

It’s one of the ways I’ve tried to give back, and it’s also what keeps me hopeful for the future of Duvall—because when we invest in our children, we’re investing in the heart of our community. 💙
