Meet the Candidate
As a lifelong resident of Centralia, I’m deeply committed to serving my community and advocating for working families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of taking on leadership roles, shaping my journey as a dedicated public servant.
I’ve worked on several committees, supported local initiatives, and created opportunities for families, youth, and education. With a background in mental health, emergency services, and drug counseling, I’m equipped to address the challenges many families face and committed to finding practical solutions for Centralia.
As a widow, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, I’m personally invested in creating a better future for our city. I’m running for City Council to revitalize Centralia, improve housing, strengthen the local economy, and expand community opportunities. When elected, I promise to work tirelessly to build a stronger, more vibrant Centralia for all.
