What about your professional experience should encourage voters to select you for the commission?

During my time in office I have invested in local communities by creating a countrywide economic development program that provides recourse for every city to invest in local projects.

Focusing on the environment, I have spearheaded numerous efforts to expand environmental initiatives at Sea-Tac international Airport to reduce the carb footprint of airport operations.
