What motivated you to seek a seat on City Council?
I believe a city council member should be present at the majority of meetings held to make a transparent, meaningful and decisive decision.
Also to keep the current City of Unalaska infrastructure in place, and to be fiscally responsible.
What qualifications do you have to serve on the City Council?
As a local Unangax from the Aleutian Islands for over 45+ years, raising my 4 adult children here, a homeowner, a past council member, and volunteer of our community I see challenges ahead, but it is also a time for memorable opportunities. Being the Executive Director for UVB for 3 years and brainstorming how to be more efficient and to stay within our budget has given me the opportunity to make great improvements for the Unalaska Visitors Bureau, I believe I can also bring that to the table as a council member.
What are your top three priorities for the city, if elected?
To be present, to listen, and to make the best decision for our community on each issue that arises. Representing the community means to be involved on all levels.
Is there an issue or proposal you want to bring to the table that the Unalaska City Council hasn’t yet considered?
I do not, but I am open to listening to our residents.
