Priorities
Over the past decade of Claudia’s leadership on County Council, District 6 has seen extraordinary progress, from delivering light rail and expanding regional trails, to opening the Eastside’s first suite of emergency homeless shelters, to securing major investments in housing, transportation, environmental protection, education, parks, trails, and arts & culture.
Claudia is impactful because she focuses on outcomes. She knows how to turn big ideas into real projects, and how to bring cities, community organizations, labor, and the private sector together to get hard things done.
Now, Claudia is ready to lead District 6 through its next chapter, both the opportunities that come with light rail opening and growing communities, and the challenges of affordability, safety, and climate resilience. If re-elected, she will continue to lead with diligence, urgency, and accountability to deliver a hopeful future for everyone.
-
Affordability
In an increasingly expensive region, Claudia will make it a top priority to address the increasing cost of living, including making housing and utilities less prohibitive, so that people can afford to build a future in East King County.
-
Transportation
With light rail opening across I-90 and beyond, Claudia will focus on strong bus connections, safe and accessible streets, and continued investment in roads and regional trails so everyone can benefit from our growing transit system.
-
Housing
A recognized regional leader on housing, Claudia will keep pushing to expand housing options at all income levels — so seniors can age in place and working people and families can afford to live near jobs, schools, and transit.
-
Public Safety
A former public safety official, Claudia is uniquely situated to advocate for a safer county. She will focus on transit safety, supporting victims and survivors, and practical, proven approaches to make public spaces safe and welcoming for all.
-
Environmental Protection
Claudia will continue to lead on climate action, clean water, and environmental protection — with a focus on accountability and real, measurable results.
-
Parks, Arts & Culture
Claudia believes strong communities need shared spaces for healthy activities, connection and creative life, and she will keep expanding access to parks, trails, open space, arts, culture, and historic preservation sites.
-
Accountability & Good Government
At a time of declining trust in government, Claudia remains committed to transparency, strong oversight, and ethics, making sure public dollars deliver real value and achieve the ends voters expect.
