Fiscal Sustainability

As we plan for Duvall’s future, strong financial stewardship will continue to matter more than ever.

Over the years, our city has navigated tight budgets, rising costs, and growing demands on local services. City staff and leaders have worked hard to keep things running smoothly — and that effort deserves real recognition. I’m committed to honoring what’s been done — but also to taking a hard look at what’s not working, and driving the changes our community expects and deserves.

Fiscal responsibility isn’t just about spending less — it’s about being thoughtful with every dollar, communicating clearly, and investing in long-term solutions that serve the whole city.

If elected Mayor, I will:

• Prioritize sustainable, transparent budgeting

• Focus on long-term planning over short-term fixes

• Communicate clearly about where funds are going and why

• Make room for the things that matter most to Duvall — from infrastructure to public safety to parks and recreation

I look forward to working closely with our City Council, dedicated staff, and engaged community to keep Duvall moving forward with a shared commitment to transparency, sustainability, and fiscal responsibility.

We don’t need to wait for a crisis to make improvements. Real progress comes from thoughtful, intentional changes — grounded in listening, planning, and a shared belief that we can always do better for the people we serve.
