Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948

When I shared the news that my campaign was endorsed by the Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948, it hit close to home for me — because my mom has proudly been a member of this union for over 18 years. 💜

As a paraeducator, she’s spent her career supporting students who need a little extra help — patiently, creatively, and with so much heart. I see the quiet dedication she and her colleagues bring to work every single day.

Their impact doesn’t always make headlines, but it’s felt in every classroom, every breakthrough, and every student who feels seen and supported.

This endorsement means even more knowing it represents people like my mom — the backbone of our schools and a reflection of the values I carry with me: service, compassion, and commitment to community.

I’m honored to share that the Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948 has endorsed my campaign for Mayor of Duvall.

Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948 represents over 30,000 classified school employees across Washington state — including paraeducators, bus drivers, office staff, custodians, food service workers, and IT specialists, as well as several hundred higher education classified and exempt staff at our state’s regional universities.

These members are essential to the day-to-day operation of our schools and universities and to the success of every student.

Public School Employees of Washington, SEIU Local 1948 endorsed me because of my deep respect for the vital work their members do and my commitment to supporting public education and the people who make it possible. I believe classified employees are not just support staff — they are educators, problem-solvers, and community builders.

I share PSE’s values of equity, respect, and public service. I know that strong schools and strong communities go hand in hand, and I’m grateful to have their trust and support.

Together, we will continue building a stronger, more connected Duvall.
