What I love about Sequim and what I hope to contribute/accomplish as a city council member: I love Sequim because it's my home, to my core. It's the place that I've experienced the most hardship and struggles, but also the place where I have felt supported by the community.  I hope to contribute my perspective as a low-income parent, while factoring in the realistic needs of the city. As a city council member, I hope to make a positive impact on the people of Sequim.
