Fun Fact
I’m an artist at heart — I love painting in all mediums (especially watercolor), and I come from a family of musicians who’ve done recordings. I still sing for fun!
I’m passionate about sports and the outdoors, always ready for a hike or a good game.
I enjoy everything from reading and visiting museums to learning about world history and exploring new cultures.
I have a big soft spot for crafts — whether it's cake decorating, scrapbooking, or anything hands-on, I’m in.
I care deeply about animal welfare, youth education, and women’s empowerment, especially for women in developing countries.
One thing's for sure: I don’t let myself sit still for long — there’s always something to learn, create, or care for!
Past Experience
Hi, I’m Sinar Nainggolan. After over 20 years living and working in Washington, I’ve seen how fast our communities can change — sometimes for the better, and sometimes in ways that leave people behind.
As a longtime educator, professional in administrative management, and someone who cares deeply about responsible growth, I’m running for Maple Valley City Council because I believe we need leadership that listens, acts transparently, and plans smartly for the future. I’m committed to a safer city, reasonable taxes, and balanced development that supports both families and local businesses.
This campaign is about putting people first — and I’d love your support as we work together to make a real difference in Maple Valley.
My Top Issues
Fiscal Accountability
Number 1 Issue
I believe residents deserve transparency on how our tax dollars are spent. I support responsible budgeting, better contract oversight, and clearer reporting on city expenditures.
Smart City Planning and Management
We need a more balanced approach to growth — one that keeps up with infrastructure, listens to public input, and ensures city plans actually match real outcomes.
Public Safety and Law Enforcement
With rising concerns and stretched staffing, I support increasing police presence, setting clearer metrics for performance, and ensuring our safety funding delivers real results.
