Why Folks are Supporting Amy.
"It’s a joy watching Amy bring a fresh perspective to our city council. She’s smart, compassionate, and has proven effective at getting things done to make our community a better place for everyone. I enthusiastically endorse Amy Falcone for re-election to Kirkland City Council!"
- Joan McBride, former WA 48th Legislative District Representative, former Kirkland Mayor
"Our community is better for Amy’s leadership on Kirkland City Council. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked together to organize a drive in movie night that supported local businesses while bringing the community together safely. She is a champion of affordable housing, women and families, and the LGBTQ community. It is clear from just one conversation that she truly cares about the future of our city. I am looking forward to her serving another term on city council where she works tirelessly for the community we all know and love."
- Angela Rozmyn, Kirkland Planning Commission Chair
"Amy is exactly the type of elected leader we need in these challenging times: thoughtful, collaborative and courageous. She works hard on doing what’s right for the people she represents in Kirkland while understanding that working together with other cities is indispensable to our success. With her collaborative approach and strong values of listening and inclusiveness, it’s no wonder that Amy has been selected to lead the cities’ caucus to our regional Affordable Housing Committee. In that and other positions, she is already making a huge difference to keep our communities livable and accessible to working families and future generations. I’m proud and honored to endorse her campaign for re-election."
- Claudia Balducci, King Council Councilmember, former Bellevue Mayor

Amy Falcone is a true community leader who embodies the spirit of service and dedication. I wholeheartedly endorse her.”
- Jaime Lusardo, Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance Board Member
"Amy has a huge heart. I have seen through her actions over the many years I've known her how much she cares about all people in Kirkland. She is a patient listener and isn't afraid to stand up for those with less of a voice in our local government. She understands the many challenges Kirkland currently faces and will continue to face in the future and the need to address them now, like affordable housing and climate change. We are blessed as a community to have Amy's service and I support her re-election."
- Faith DeBolt, Kirkland Transportation Commissioner and Kirkland Greenways Board Member

I trust Amy to always consider the interests and concerns of Kirkland's least-heard, most-challenged residents. I am excited to have her continue representing ALL Kirklanders for another term."
- Karina O'Malley, Kirkland Resident and LWUMC Safe Parking Coordinator
"Amy won me over with her authenticity, care for the community, graciousness, and work ethic. I look forward to seeing the positive impact and lives she touches while continuing her journey as a public servant."
