Issue Position: Accountability and Reform

Issue Position

As Deputy Director of the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, I led a department with 270 employees and a $38 million annual budget. I know how to exercise leadership, build consensus, and get the work done. After arriving at the health department, I dramatically improved relationships with other agencies resulting in improved services to local communities, even during the economic crisis. I have a record of bringing positive change and accountability to troubled agencies, while always remembering the needs of people. My creative, smart, financially responsible approach is the right way to navigate the tough economy.
