“Welcome to Seattle!
What can I do for you?”

I am offering myself to be of service as your well-rounded and deeply grounded choice for Seattle City Council, Position 1, District 1 (Pioneer Square, SODO, Georgetown, South Park, and West Seattle). I am moving upward to make a positive impact. No matter what happens in this city, I will continue to Help Raise Seattle.

Hospitality, Education, Retail, Art, Music, and Horticulture. These are my sources of employment and enjoyment for my entire life in West Seattle and Seattle proper. I have been volunteering and organizing since 1999. Community partnerships, advocacy, fundraising, networking, and special event planning are my life. I dance at the intersection of Engagement and Entertainment.

“Have you met me yet?”

I’m a strong, clever connection to have, and an engaging helping hand of District 1. You may know of me already (I am fabled in some parts). There are so many ways we could have been introduced! I look forward to seeing you again. If we haven’t met, I hope to meet you soon!

I am the uncommon person for the common good. I will lighten things up. I might shake/shape things up. I continue to dedicate myself wholly to this city. I will listen. I will lead Seattle and District 1 with courage and this message:

HELP RAISE SEATTLE!

The indigenous history. The geography and ecology. The weather. The culture. The sports. The transportation. The pets. The hiking. The views. The music. The challenges. The salt water. The civics. The freedom. The business. The art. The science. The tourism. The diversity. The architecture. The food! The support. This is why I remain. My Seattle is everywhere I go. Thank you, Community.

I am grateful for the past, current, and future contributors from my district, Seattle, King County, and Washington State. Their stewardship has guided Seattle to where we are today.

Thank you, Leaders.

“Would you like to help raise Seattle?”

There is room for everyone at the table, and I invite you to take a seat. Please, consider making time for yourself and space for others. Please, be willing to take the next steps. If we are capable, we can all participate in civic service and celebrate the results together. I believe in the inherent good within us all. I am listening to the desire for change. I am asking for help. I comprehensively understand the needs, wants, capabilities, and challenges of District 1. I will represent the land, people, businesses, and government who Help Raise Seattle.

“So what’s your platform?”

“Heels, of course.”

(Real discussions occurring in District 1 regarding all platforms daily,
the political and the shoes. Fair and equal representation for all.)
