1. With 27 years experience in the assessment field and public service, I have acquired the administrative expertise needed for this office. I am finishing my second term as the Snohomish County assessor. I have the skills, knowledge and abilities to provide the citizens of Snohomish County a cost-effective and efficient Assessor's Office; one that produces fair, uniform and equitable assessments.

2. I will strive to use technology in the best and most productive way, by using the Internet access to the assessor's database. This will allow customers access to their property information much quicker.

3. I am a fair and responsive person who is an advocate for the citizens of Snohomish County. I will continue to lobby for property-tax reform and maintain a professional office that will continue to produce fair and uniform assessments.
