Welcome To My Website!

After approximately three years of involvement in the state legislature as legislative assistant to State Representative Larry Springer, more than two years as an Executive Analyst for Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon currently managing state and federal legislative affairs, and more than a year of service as Vice-Chair of the Duvall Planning Commission I am eager to do more to serve our community. I have chosen to do that by campaigning to become Duvall’s next city councilmember. As of October 28, 2009 I have knocked on the doors of nearly 1,800 homes in our city, personally speaking with hundreds of voters. I have thoroughly enjoyed speaking with you about your priorities for our city and am more committed than ever to represent our citizens on the city council.

As your city councilmember I will:

• Bring an experienced, balanced perspective to the city council and always put the interests of our citizens first.
• Vote AGAINST unnecessary tax increases for our residents and actively seek creative funding alternatives for city projects.
• Support policies that help our existing small businesses be successful and encourage more family restaurants and niche small businesses on Main Street.
• Work hard to retain Duvall’s small town charm through smart growth management. I will make sure that builders pay their fair share for the roads, sidewalks and sewers new homes need – instead of shifting costs to current residents and businesses.
• Ensure our first responders have the resources they need to keep our families safe.
• Work to institute better communication with our citizens and easier access to information and services through expanded use of e-mail, and implement the use of social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Nixel.

My door will always be open to listen to and understand your concerns.

I look forward to serving you on the Duvall City Council and hope that you find the information on this site useful and informative. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me anytime at (425) 844-0930 or amyockerlander@hotmail.com

Sincerely,
Amy Ockerlander
