I am a lifelong Cowlitz County resident and proud graduate of Kelso High School. I earned an Associate’s degree from Lower Columbia College and a Bachelor’s degree from Linfield College and am blessed to be supported by my husband Dave, stepson DJ, and our extended family and friends. For the past 20 years, I have served this community, first as Elections Manager and now as Auditor. I am nationally and state certified in elections administration and possess extensive knowledge and experience across every division of the office. My commitment to excellence has been recognized with the Washington State Elections Employee of the Year award in 2017 and the Washington State Auditor of the Year award in 2022. I am honored to lead a dedicated team through significant challenges, including a major security-focused remodel of our elections facility. I maintain strong, bipartisan relationships and actively include both political parties in our processes to uphold the highest standards of security and transparency. I believe in trust and integrity. As your independent Auditor, I will continue to protect election integrity and enforce fiscal accountability. Thank you for your vote and the opportunity to continue serving our community.
