_______________________________________ Elected Experience: Has not held public office Other Professional Experience: Sarah owns her own consulting business based in Tacoma. Education: Sarah has a Master's Degree in Environmental Studies from The Evergreen State College. Community Service: Sarah serves on the City of Tacoma Human Rights Commission, the board of Associated Ministries of Pierce County and as a board member at Temple Beth El. She has served on the Board of Governor's for Evergreen State College and as a PTA President at Browns Point Elementary School. Sarah was previously employed as a City Planner for the City of Kent. Statement: We are facing challenging and unprecedented times as we work to end this pandemic and get lives back to normal. This crisis has shown too many people live paycheck to paycheck with many of our residents not being able to afford their mortgage or rent after only a few weeks of an economic shutdown. This is an opportunity to reset our economy to ensure more living wage jobs, more affordable housing, better access to health care and a stronger safety net for our most vulnerable. To do this, we have to forgo the trend toward divisive, partisan politics and unite our county in rebuilding our economy by recruiting great companies that pay living wages, quickly building new housing for working families, strengthening our human services programs and continuing to protect our natural resources for future generations. My background in planning, my work in nonprofits, my work in faith-based communities will ensure that I can hit the ground running resetting our county government and Pierce County’s economic health so we can better navigate challenges and economic slowdowns in the future.
