Incumbent Kelli Curtis is running for re-election to Kirkland City Council, Position 2, to which she was first elected in 2019. Before joining the council she worked for most of her career in the technology industry as a product manager for area companies such as Aldus and Starwave.
Curtis' campaign platform prioritizes close collaboration with neighbors, implementing sustainable planning strategies, cultivating inclusivity and belonging, building affordable homes, and expanding parks and natural spaces. During her time on the council, Curtis has supported the conversion of hotels into housing with on-site services, achieving success in these projects by bringing people together.
As chair of the Parks Exploratory Funding Committee, Curtis has spearheaded a ballot measure to build community enhancements including the creation of indoor aquatics and recreation facilities, with pools, gymnasiums, fitness classes, and a community gathering space. Additional plans involve adding restrooms to selected parks, constructing new sports courts, expanding youth recreation programs, and acquiring green space for the development of Green Loop trail segments in northwest Kirkland.
Curtis faces challenges from Catie Malik and Zoltan Szilagyi. Malik is a health care operations professional and a longtime resident of the Greater Seattle area. Rather than addressing the root causes of homelessness, she tries to divide us and make us fear our neighbors. She also opposes rapid transit service to Kirkland's core, which would only make traffic worse and contribute toward climate change.
Zoltan Szilagyi is a longtime Kirkland resident running for Kirkland City Council, Position 2. Szilagyi has a PhD in physics and currently works as a research physicist for an electron microscope company. He has no political experience, and has no campaign website or funds raised as of ealy July.
Kirkland has benefitted from Curtis's commitment to bringing community-minded leadership to the core of some of its most challenging issues. Kelli Curtis is the clear choice for Kirkland City Council, Position 2.
