Mayor is a Critical Role

Why Choose Me, Again

Experience

I have served as your mayor for the past 3 ½ years and have worked hard to lead with integrity, keep my promises, and deliver real results for our community. Together, we’ve secured high-speed fiber internet for homes, reduced the cost of police services while maintaining safety, and guided Medical Lake through the tragedy of the Gray Road Fire—helping families and businesses rebuild and heal. I remain pro-family, pro-military, pro-small business, and fully committed to our community. With proven leadership and a heart for service, I humbly ask for your continued trust and support.

Real Results

In the past 3½ years, we’ve made major, unprecedented progress together. Some of our accomplishments include: cutting police service costs by $900,000 while increasing police presence at peak times and events, launching a new City website, monthly newsletter and increased social media, we secured grants for streets, sidewalks, and Lefevre Street—boosting safety, walkability, and support for small businesses, and we brought Waterfront Park back under City ownership-ending a 50-year lease at no cost. These are just a few of the accomplishments reflect my commitment to building a stronger, more connected community. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved—and I’m excited to keep working for you.

Dedication

I am a dedicated and hard working community leader. When I notice a problem or weak area within my sphere of work of influence I am not one to just let things stay in a state of decline. Once an issue is identified, I typically join in discussions with other leaders, strategize for a solution through collaboration, and implement a plan with an end goal in mind. I am not a delegate and walk away person. Re*Imagine Medical Lake is a perfect example, I am one of its founding members. I AM ALL IN FOR MEDICAL LAKE!

It's Not About the Money

I don’t need the job and it doesn’t pay much, so it isn’t for the money. I’m not bored, I will continue in my full-time employment and my civic work with Re*Imagine Medical Lake. So, why do I want this job? It will obviously mean longer hours. It will likely be difficult without much reward, so I’m told. I’ve heard it said, “Medical Lake is a Bedroom Community”, I don’t believe that.
I’ve heard it said. “Medical Lake is a Retirement Community”, I don’t believe that.
I’ve heard it said, “Medical Lake is a Poor Community”, I don’t believe that.

Medical Lake can be the Gem of Spokane County

Medical Lake is a beautiful picture of small-town America with potential to be the gem of Spokane County. I believe Medical Lake can preserve its unique small town natural beauty by creating a vibrant downtown where people can experience a boutique business district with an abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities, something for everyone. I believe, as confirmed by census data, that 67% of Medical Lake homeowners are single working women head of households, with children, who are not on state assistance. Medical Lake’s average household income exceeds that of both neighboring towns in the west plains. The rest of the demographic is military, retired military, or military adult children who settled and now work in the region. We are mostly a town of young families. What are we offering them? I believe if action isn’t taken soon to create a vibrant downtown district that attracts our own citizens and well as others, our downtown will continue to crumble, wealth will leave, and Medical Lake will become a poorer rental community with increased crime. We are not a poor community; we are a rich community! We are rich in civic pride, rich in natural beauty, and rich in neighborly love! It appears we a small problem, we are suffering from a state of deferred maintenance, and there is much that can be done about that! I believe together we can do great things, together we can address this small problem!
