Happy Veterans Day Weekend, Kent!
I want to thank all of the people in our community, including friends and family, neighbors and loved ones, everyone who has served our country as we head into the weekend.
I also want to thank Councilmembers Michaud, Boyce and Boyd for their service in our military and their continued service on the Kent City Council.
Thank you for your bravery and commitment to our nation and our values.
As always, there's a lot going on around the city! Hope you enjoy this week's update, find it informative, and have a great weekend!

Coffee and Convo
Coffee and Conversation is one of my favorite ways to connect.
Thank you to all who joined me and Covington Mayor Jeff Wagner this week at Bruchelle's Bagel Bistro. We talked about a variety of things, including public safety and police staffing, investments in infrastructure, and more.
Special thanks to Mayor Wagner and Chief Padilla for joining us and contributing to the conversation.
If you couldn’t make it, keep an eye on our social media for upcoming dates and locations!

It was a pleasure hosting Aubrey Young from Kentwood High School today as part of her civics class assignment.
Watching our young residents take an interest in local government and community issues is inspiring and gives me great hope for the future.
Thank you, Aubrey, for bringing your curiosity to city hall!
