Sarah’s Record of Results

Sarah was appointed by the King County Council to serve as King County Councilmember Jeanne Kohl-Welles’s representative to the King County Women’s Advisory Board in 2016. Sarah collaborated with her colleagues, community members, and parents to create and advocate for recommendations to the Executive and County Council for Improving Child Care Access and Affordability. Partially as a result of this work, the County Council funded expansion of child care facilities, Executive Constantine created the Children and Families Strategies Task Force, and the Best Starts for Kids renewal funded a King County child care assistance program and child care provider retention and wage boost.
As a member of the Women’s Advisory Board from 2019-2023, Sarah helped to draft and advocate for recommendations to support survivors of gender-based violence, including investments in housing, behavioral health, prevention programs, and restorative justice programs. Partially as a result of this work, the King County Council added Mental Illness and Drug Dependency (MIDD) funding to deliver specialized services for survivors of gender-based violence.
As a member of the King Conservation District Advisory Board, Sarah partnered with elected officials, county staff, and urban and rural residents to help advise the Board of Supervisors to further the promotion and sustainable use of King County’s natural resources.
