Burien City Council - Position 1

Top Issues

Economy We need to keep more restaurants and shops open and grow incentives to attract new jobs and opportunities. Environment / Energy On council, I will work to protect our ecosystems and natural habitats, expand our tree canopy, and champion for enhanced amenities for all neighborhood parks. Arts / Culture By investing in our creative district, we can build our city's profile as a cultural beacon for global cuisine and culture. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I believe the city can be a collaborative and proactive partner to address the root causes of homelessness, while also supporting our public safety officers to protect our city from violent crime, property damage, and theft. Infrastructure / Transportation We can do more to build connectivity for our trails and bike paths for a safe, walkable and bikeable city. Housing The solution to housing affordability is both more inventory and diversity of housing types. Housing We need a path to ownership that actually works for families with equitable access to schools, parks and public transit.
