Dear Friends,

Another year has flashed by, and I look forward to working with you in 2023 as we seek policies to advance your prosperity and quality of life. Public safety and economic development remain my top two priorities. We can’t have one without the other. That’s not to say our quest for better and expanded parks and trails systems will be ignored, nor our “ground” transportation needs (no airports allowed). We must also pay attention to global, national and state events, as they all affect our local policies and way of life.    
 
Your thoughts and comments on policies and issues are always appreciated. Another great way to help inform your elected representatives of what you want from your government is to participate in surveys, like the one below.
 
Wishing you a most prosperous and Happy New Year! 

I want to hear from you about the Sprinker Recreation Center!

After 48 years of serving the Parkland, Spanaway, and greater Pierce County communities, the Sprinker Recreation Center's indoor spaces are in need of updates and improvements. 

Pierce County has been listening to and engaging with the Parkland and Spanaway communities to help redesign the Sprinker Recreation Center’s outdoor spaces since 2016 – a project that is starting soon! You can visit the Sprinker Outdoor Improvement webpage to learn more. 

Now Pierce County is making a plan to remodel the Sprinker Recreation Center’s indoor spaces to better serve the needs of the community! I want to hear from you!

Please take this survey by Tuesday, Jan. 31 to give the county your suggestions on what you want to see inside Sprinker! The survey is also available in Spanish. Learn more at www.SprinkerIndoors.com.

As always, I am grateful for you! Have a wonderful and safe time celebrating the new year.
