YOUR DEPUTY MAYOR
Meet Tracy
“Since being elected to serve on the Auburn City Council in 2023, and then being selected by my colleagues to serve as Deputy Mayor in 2025, I have been hard at work on the issues that matter most to Auburn residents.
For over twenty years, I worked as a news media professional, specializing in traffic reporting around the region. I had a fulfilling career as a familiar face in television and radio news—keeping people informed and connected.
Throughout my tenure in the media industry, I spoke with many elected officials, and I learned how important the services and programs that local jurisdictions provide are for the people that live and work there. I saw potential for us to do better in South King County.
That’s why I ran for Auburn City Council, and why I’m committed to focusing on the challenges that many families are facing right now in our community.
As the Former Vice President of the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation and a past member of the Auburn Arts Commission, I’ve also continued my passion of advocacy and making a positive impact.
I’ve always had a passion for helping others, and I want to keep giving back to the community that gave me so much. I’ve dedicated myself to making our community an even better place to live and work by voting on local legislation that improves people’s lives.
As your Deputy Mayor, I’ll continue to support local initiatives that improve safety, improve access to affordable housing and transportation, improve our parks and city services, and improve support for Auburn’s businesses and industries.
I’ll continue showing up, serving with integrity, and staying accountable to Auburn residents. I’m excited about the future of our city, and I’d be honored to have your continued support!”
