Creating a Safe, Welcoming Woodinville
Safety means more than policing, it’s about well-lit streets, safe crossings, strong schools, and neighborhoods where everyone feels they belong. I’m committed to smart investments that prevent crime, support people in crisis, and strengthen the connections that make Woodinville both secure and welcoming.
Key initiatives and ongoing efforts that I’m championing:
Prioritizing pedestrian safety: Replacing old sidewalks, building new trails, and creating safer walking routes to schools and neighborhoods.
Investing in the right responders for the right situation: funding CORE Connect to provide crisis intervention for community members facing mental health, housing insecurity, food insecurity or substance abuse challenges.
Expanding restorative justice: Advocated for Woodinville to join the Kirkland Community Court program, focusing on rehabilitation over punishment for low-level offenses.
Strengthening police partnerships: Supported the Therapeutic Response Unit (TRU), funding mental health professionals to ride alongside police to provide trauma-informed crisis care.
Fighting for safer streets: Advocating for school zone speed cameras, safer crossings, and crime prevention strategies that work.
Gun Responsibility & Safer Communities
Keeping Woodinville safe also means standing up for commonsense gun laws and community-centered solutions:
I support:
Safe storage laws and public education
Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) to prevent tragedies before they occur
Non-police alternatives like CORE Connect and the Therapeutic Response Unit
Investments in upstream services that break cycles of violence before they begin
As threats of violence grow across the country, I remain committed to policies that protect lives, not score political points. My campaign, and my leadership, will always stand for gun responsibility and a safer future for all.
Everyone deserves to feel safe at school, at work, or walking through our neighborhoods. My leadership will always prioritize real safety solutions over political soundbites, so Woodinville remains a place where every resident feels secure, supported, and at home.
