Meet Alex
Proudly Endorsed by the Snohomish County Democrats
As the Executive Director of the American Red Cross serving Northwest Washington, I’ve dedicated my career to service—responding to disasters, supporting communities in crisis, and building systems that always put people first. I'm a proud Edmonds resident who believes passionately in creating a city where everyone feels safe, heard, and supported.
I hold a Master’s degree in Politics and International Studies from the University of Cambridge and a Bachelor’s in Policy Analysis and Management from Cornell University, where I focused on building smarter, more compassionate humanitarian programs.
In times of national division and rising local challenges, Edmonds needs steady, compassionate leadership founded on respect, transparency, and genuine care for our environment.
Let me be clear: Our parks are not for sale.
This is our home—and it’s worth fighting for. That’s why I’m running to serve.
