Could you provide an elevator pitch for your platform and explain why you are running for council?
If elected, what would be your priorities for city government spending?
How would you balance the city’s unmet needs with being good stewards of taxpayer dollars?
If elected, how do you plan to remain professional and
productive even though your opinions/values may conflict with those held
by other councilmembers?
What sets you apart from other candidates and current councilmembers?
What’s one issue or topic the council has discussed recently that’s piqued your interest, and how would you address it?
What’s something happening in Lake Forest Park you don’t think is being addressed or talked about enough?
How would you address it? What do you think the council should
do to accommodate growth in Lake Forest Park while keeping it an
affordable and attractive place to live for current residents?
Do you think the city is doing a good job of engaging all its
constituents, including those from traditionally underserved
communities? If not, how would you change that?
