As a mom of four, Leslie experiences firsthand the challenges families face. She is deeply aware of the stress and concerns parents have regarding education.

As a former King County Prosecutor, Leslie has experience delivering justice to crime victims and their families. She understands concerns about crime in our communities and the need for strong law enforcement.

As a sitting Camas City Councilor, Leslie works tirelessly to balance the needs of the city with the desires of its citizens.
