I am running for a second term for Mayor of Bellingham.

It has been my honor and privilege to serve you during these recent challenging years. During this time, we have withstood a life-altering pandemic that only intensified an array of social problems in our community.

Throughout, I worked with my staff, partners and community members in the critically important and disciplined work of advancing policy solutions that address problems.

During my tenure, and before as a member of both the Whatcom County Council and Bellingham City Council, I have established critical relationships and gained invaluable experience and insights into the operations of city government that deliver essential public services to the people of Bellingham.

The work we do is in service to the future we need, and toward that end my administration has been responsive to and prioritized action on our City’s most important issues while making steady and demonstrable progress. I have assembled a strong and capable leadership team to lead Bellingham into the hopeful future that we need and deserve – a future in which we all work together to do the important, inspiring work of building a sustainable, equitable and thriving city.

I am ready and enthusiastic to continue this work.
