Frequently Asked Questions

A Precinct Committee Officer serves as the direct bridge between our neighborhood and the Democratic Party, ensuring our local values shape the party's platform from the ground up. They are responsible for representing our community in internal party votes, endorsing candidates, and helping neighbors stay informed and engaged during election seasons. Ultimately, a PCO works to ensure that the political system remains accountable to the people it serves by building a strong, organized community at the local level.

While a Precinct Committee Officer doesn’t vote on legislation in the state capitol or at City Hall, I hold a critical vote within the Democratic Party that determines which candidates earn our official endorsement and support. I believe that our party’s platform should be a reflection of our community’s needs, not a wishlist for corporate interests.
As your PCO, I will use my vote to champion and endorse candidates who treat housing, healthcare, equal rights, quality education, and a clean environment as non-negotiable human rights.
My goal is to ensure that the people we send to represent us are fully committed to these values, providing you with a direct bullhorn to shape the future of our leadership from the ground up.

My husband and I chose to call Tacoma home a few years ago after a single visit when the warmth and authenticity of the city convinced us this was where we belonged. As an avid gardener and a passionate cook, I find that nourishing people is my true love language. My frontyard garden is my favorite "office" - it provides a natural space to connect with neighbors and stay grounded in the community I serve.
My professional calling is in risk management, which requires me to think through complex problems and take a data-driven approach to finding the right solution. I’ve spent the past two decades in "accountability" roles, ensuring that major corporations act responsibly to protect consumers. However, leading people is what gives me the most energy. I care deeply about ensuring my teams have balanced, fulfilling careers while remaining inspired high-performers.
I believe that effective leadership is rooted in being a good neighbor: someone who is approachable, stays curious, and is always willing to share a harvest or a meaningful conversation.
