• READ THE ANSWERS SIDE BY SIDE. THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT SUBTLE. ⠀ The Spotlight published our responses in full, and I encourage every voter to actually read them carefully. What stands out to me is not simply that my opponent and I disagree. Of course we do. What stands out is the difference between identifying problems and actually presenting a plan to solve them. ⠀ When I was asked about the biggest issues facing St. Helens, I identified financial stability, public safety, aging infrastructure,

• See the below shared post for the St. Helens Police Association’s response to my opponent’s recent comments about the police department. The mayor is not involved in negotiating the collective bargaining agreement between the association and the city. That includes police officer pay as well as benefits. In other words the mayor does not have the ability to reduce or increase officer’s wages, reduce or increase benefits or to get rid of the union all together. It is made very clear by the St.

• Why in the world would I ever want to run for Mayor again? That is a question I ask myself more often than people may realize. Since taking office, I have faced: • False accusations • Nine ethics complaints • A DPSST complaint • A DOJ complaint • A lawsuit that I believe was filed for improper and politically motivated reasons To date, none of those complaints has established wrongdoing by me. Yet defending myself has cost nearly $50,000 in personal attorney fees. Is this what you want for

• 🚢 COMMUNITY QUESTION: WOULD YOU USE A ST. HELENS TO WASHINGTON FERRY? Great conversations have been happening at my Sunday coffee meetings, and they have sparked even more ideas and research. One of those conversations brought me back to an idea I remember raising during our Council roadmap discussions, so I have been digging into it further and would genuinely like to know whether there is enough community interest to explore it. If the citizens are supportive of this and I am reelected, thi

• Sometimes the reason I work so hard for St. Helens can be found in a moment as simple as this. Lunch at Kozy Korner with my grandmother, almost 98 years young, born right here in St. Helens in 1929, and my first grandchild, just one year old. Nearly a century separates them. One represents where we have been. The other represents everything still to come. Watching them together reminded me exactly why this work matters so much to me. I want St. Helens to remain a place where families can b

• Governing Is Different Than Campaigning Serving as Mayor has taught me that governing in theory is very different from governing in reality. It is easy to say what you would do from the outside, but once you understand the legal requirements, budgets, contracts, staffing, and consequences, the decisions become far more complex. I hear things that disparage how things have been done, but do not hear the specific itemized examples, just inaccurate generic talking points. What concerns me most
