-Back in 2013, the Lake City Community Center
had been begging the city for months and months
to install Wi-Fi, with delay after delay and no action.
The community needed a solution, so I volunteered,
got on the roof,
and installed the first wireless Internet system
at the Lake City Community Center.
Sadly, a decade later, nothing has changed.
We watch volunteers take action and get results
while programs City Hall pours millions into seem ineffective.
We have been patient and generous with our tax dollars,
but we're not getting our fair share or a fair say on spending.
Accountability is my top priority.
We need to enhance auditing of city expenditures,
identify what is working, and cut wasteful programs.
Having lived in North Seattle for almost 25 years,
some of you know me from my prior business,
the Computer Doctor.
Some of you know me from my contributions
at the Eagles Area No. 1.
I'm proud to be an active participant in our community,
using my skills to making it better.
I believe IT management principles
can change City Hall.
Examining problems and finding solutions within budget
is what I do every day.
More importantly, I will make sure your voice is heard,
because I will conduct a survey every three months,
and focus on what you want from your city government.
And I'll make darn sure City Hall knows what you want, too.
Also, I am a proud advocate of civil rights,
and especially the right to choose.
The anti-choice movement is based on two lies.
The first lie is every fetus is viable.
The second lie is that pregnancy and birth
don't pose a life-threatening risk.
Last year, the United States
had the highest maternal mortality rate
of all advanced countries.
Protecting civil rights is not enough.
We have a moral obligation to audit,
and ensure our tax dollars
are not feeding anti-choice organizations.
