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.
