Listen. Protect. Respect. Leadership that puts your family and finances first.
Marysville City Council, Position 2
I believe good leadership starts with listening to the people we serve. That’s how we build safer communities, protect families, and deliver responsible budgets that respect your hard-earned tax dollars.

Mark’s Priorities
“Listen. Protect. Respect. Leadership that puts your family and finances first.”
Leadership that listens to the people it serves, and responds with action, is essential to building a healthy, thriving community. In Marysville, that means more than just public safety and responsible budgeting. It also means investing in safe, clean, and well-maintained parks where families can gather, and improving transportation infrastructure to reduce congestion and ensure our roads are properly maintained. By listening first and acting with purpose, we can deliver real results that reflect the values and needs of our community.
Protection for your family starts with leadership that listens. In Marysville, public safety is a top priority, and we are supported by a highly trained regional fire authority and a fully funded, professional police department. By combining safety, training, accountability and equipping our first responders with the tools they need, we build trust, reduce crime, and keep every neighborhood safe.
Respect for your tax dollars begins with leadership that listens to families and businesses who expect fiscal responsibility. In Marysville, we’ve delivered balanced budgets for over a decade without raising the City’s portion of your property taxes. By growing our local economy through sound financial decisions and reduced red tape, we’re seeing increased sales tax revenue from visitors, helping to ease the burden on homeowners and keep our city financially strong.
