Elect a new mayor

As you probably know, the current Coulee Dam mayor has chosen not to file for another term, and with that decision, we need to elect a new mayor.

I’ve been active on Town Council for almost four years. I serve on town committees with well-thought and balanced service. I have worked with the current administration from the beginning of the Waste Water Treatment Facility, Transportation Improvement Board roads/sidewalks grant applications, and other projects and programs, and am able to provide a seamless transition as we construct the facility and implement the TIB grant for our sidewalks. I have a good working relationship with USBR, the school district, towns, cities and counties. I am committed to manage the needs of Coulee Dam today and look to the future needs as well.

I grew up on a family-owned apple orchard in Oroville and graduated from Oroville High School in 1964. After being away from this region for many years, I returned to the area in the fall of 2001 with my husband to settle here once again.

I love this area and I am prepared to put the energy and my creative mind to work as we meet the opportunities and challenges to ensure that the town’s business and infrastructure remain vital and sustainable into the future. I can and will balance the difference among the issues — political and infrastructure. I have the energy and the mind and heart to serve.

Get to know me through personal visits, block gatherings, forums and debates over the coming months.
