Why I'm Running

  

I am proud to call Bainbridge Island my home.  My wife is from Bainbridge, and we are so excited to raise our family in this close-knit community.  I am running for City Council to make sure that the beauty and special character of the Island that exists now will still be there for my children.


We need new leadership on Bainbridge—leadership that practically plans for future growth without compromising our community’s character.   I oppose the current City Council’s misguided plan to massively upzone Winslow and the surrounding area.  Adding high density Seattle-style condo complexes will destroy the special character of the Island, strain existing infrastructure, cause congestion, and increase taxes, all without meaningfully addressing housing affordability.


I am a fourth generation Washingtonian and grew up in Ballard.  Like Bainbridge, Ballard was once an idyllic place with a small-town feel.  Now, after widespread upzoning, Ballard has exchanged its unique character and sense of community for monotonous high density condos, congestion, and prices that only went up.  Don’t let Bainbridge become Ballard.  Let’s keep Bainbridge Bainbridge.


I respectfully ask for your vote so that I can work to preserve the special character of Bainbridge Island while responsibly planning for the future.
