Leading with love means never losing sight of why we lead.
It’s easy to get caught up in policies, timelines, and tough choices—but at the heart of it all are people. Neighbors. Families. Small business owners. Kids growing up here, and elders who helped build this town.
When I talk about leading with love, I’m talking about leading with them in mind—you in mind.
It means making decisions not just for today, but for the kind of Duvall we want to leave behind tomorrow.
It means slowing down to listen, even when things feel urgent.
It means remembering that leadership is not about being the loudest voice—but the most accountable one.
Duvall is special because of the way we show up for one another. That’s the spirit I want to protect and grow. A city where connection matters, where compassion shapes policy, and where everyone has a seat at the table.
So as we move forward, know this:
Love isn’t the easy path—it’s the intentional one.
And it’s the one I’ll keep walking, with and for this community.
Let’s keep building a Duvall where love leads the way.
