Meet Gabe

I am not a politician. I have made a career out of understanding and improving large systems. I believe in getting my hands dirty and implementing innovative, real-world solutions. I hope to bring this problem-solving approach to the Snohomish City Council.

I was asked to run for City Council to help refocus our city government on core community services: utilities, public safety, roads, permits/events and parks.

I have heard your concerns about the current direction of our city and the lack of accountability to you, the citizen. It’s time to put Snohomish first and for the city to tighten its belt. If elected, I will: protect angled parking on First Street, oppose the $73 million civic center project, oppose paid parking, work to re-balance the city budget and advocate for lower utility rates.

My wife, Kristin and I moved to Snohomish 23 years ago to raise our family because Snohomish is a great place for families and we love the Snohomish community. Now, I would like to give back by helping to bring common-sense leadership back to Snohomish. I humbly ask for your vote.
