Make sure residents’ voices are heard in every decision

Give the same attention to our neighborhoods as we give to Downtown & development

Proactive & enthusiastic communication - I have stayed consistent in posting on Facebook about meetings & have sent out an annual letter every year to recap & inform residents of what’s happened and what’s on the horizon, as well as my voting record which you can see here https://bit.ly/mikulski-votes

Pursue affordable housing WITHOUT chasing quantity over quality in a way that only serves developers (support union labor and responsible contractor language!)

Regain and revitalize the Kulick Community Center — by pursuing partnerships and grants to fund critical upgrades, we can bring this space back to life and reopen it as the community hub Ferndale deserves; I have been fighting to keep this space since 2019

Analysis of our budget so that we minimize how much we pay expensive 3rd party vendors

Active listening, availability by phone, email, and social media to voice your concerns

Practical, logical, fiscally accountable stances on any issue brought to council

A deep commitment to protecting & preserving our greenspaces for current and future generations to enjoy

Improved sanitation and a citywide effort to reduce rat issues safely & effectively, including distribution of rat-proof trash cans for all residents (last year the trash cans finally made it to our strategic plan, and I have been working with staff to find a cost effective way to get them!)
