Elect Karen Howe for Sammamish City Council #7
RE-ELECT
EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP
Honored to serve as your Mayor
GOALS & PRIORITIES
I'm proud to call Sammamish home for over 30 years. It's an honor to serve this amazing community—as a longtime volunteer, your Councilmember, and now as your Mayor. I'm running for re-election to continue building on the progress we've made together—from expanding affordable housing options to moving forward with our climate and sustainability plans, and improving the ways we get around town.
Public safety, emergency preparedness, and long-term financial stability remain my top priorities. I want Sammamish to be a safe, beautiful, and inclusive place where teachers, first responders, families, and retirees can live and thrive.
We must invest in smart transportation options—walkable neighborhoods, bike-friendly streets, and reliable public transit—to connect people to jobs, schools, parks, and essential services. Success means delivering on our 2025 work plan and keeping the community engaged and informed every step of the way.
Together, we can build a sustainable future for Sammamish!
Help me continue to:
- Champion parks and natural habitat
- Provide safe roads, sidewalks, bike paths + enhanced transit options
- Leverage my experience in youth advocacy to serve our youngest community members
- Utilize my business background to ensure prudent and transparent management of funds
- Kickstart new, progressive revenue options
- Deliver a dedicated Senior/Teen Community Center
- Promote diversity, equity, and inclusivity
Let's continue with common sense initiatives to ensure our community is the home we're proud to leave the next generation.
