T-Minus 22 Days until Ballots hit the mail:
Our campaign is endorsed by our Congressman, Adam Smith!

Fun fact: Congressman Smith and I both ran for office for the first time at age 24. I appreciate his advice and continued partnership with Newcastle!

from higher levels of government - whether that was grant opportunities, state funding, or having a seat at the table in the larger region.
I'm honored to have led the charge to get Newcastle connected to resources that make our city a better place - and for the Governor's support!

Hey Friends, your ballots should arrive in the mail just ONE MONTH from right now! We're rolling out all the endorsers of our campaign on social media leading up to voting - first up:
Governor Bob Ferguson!

When I ran for council 4 years ago, I saw my hometown was disconnected (cont'd)

Thank you to the nice supporters who gave me some cold Kombucha, the several folks eager to know how many steps I’m at when I knocked on their door, and the multiple folks I’ve never met before asking me why the Town Hall was cancelled and sharing

They happen to have a problem with more town halls when I’m up for re-election, and never once before. Unlike them, I’m not avoiding accountability. I’ve talked to well over a couple thousand people this campaign and I’m here to hear them out. I’m a public servant - I know what I signed up for.

I’m disheartened that Tuesday night the Conservative majority on our council pushed to cancel an already scheduled upcoming town hall — an effort I directly led to increase the number of city town halls to make our work more transparent.
