Vote for Maggie!
Your Voice Needs to Be Heard. Your Ballot Counts.
Our city deserves a council that listens to everyone — not just one side. When leadership becomes one-sided, balanced and thoughtful decision-making is lost.
My commitment is to integrity, fairness, and justice for every resident. I’m running as an independent, nonpartisan candidate who values collaboration, transparency, and practical solutions over politics. I'm proudly endorsed by nonpartisan Eastside Business Alliance and Washington Chinese American PAC.
In this election, let’s look beyond party lines and personal attacks. (Yes, I’m referring to the ridiculous Daily Kos articles and the defaced campaign signs.) I’ve stayed focused on the issues and sharing my positions and ideas openly in the FAQ. Let's choose City Council members who bring experience, knowledge, and genuine care for our community.
Please make your voice count — cast your ballot before Tuesday (Nov. 4th).
Thank you for the support and I look forward to using my finance skills to serve you and our city. (恳请支持！期待用我财务专长为大家服务！懇請支持！期待用我財務專長為大家服務！）
Sincerely,
Maggie Lo
Candidate for Newcastle City Council Pos 6
Why I'm Running
I’m running for Newcastle City Council Position No. 6 to put Newcastle first and address the issues that matter most to you. Our community deserves a leader who prioritizes your needs and delivers solutions. Unlike partisan politicians, I answer only to you - not to the special interests, or any political party. I understand the impact of rising property taxes on top of our huge state taxes, and am committed to manage city budget wisely.
As a wife, mother and 10-year Newcastle resident, I cherish our city's natural beauty and I am invested in maintaining Newcastle as a safe community. Serving on the Planning Commission, I've heard your concerns firsthand. Moving forward, I’ll champion responsible growth to preserve our quality of life, ease traffic congestion, and build housing where it makes sense: near transit, jobs and retail. I’ll advocate for smart spending and reduce tax burden on residents and keep our seniors in their homes and our community.
As a seasoned finance professional at Boeing, I bring real-world experience in finance, project management, and strategic decision-making. I've managed complex projects including certifying financial controls for Shared Service Group; overseeing $600M+ annual IT budget; integrating subsidiaries and mitigating supply chain risks. I believe in giving back. I mentored early-career professionals, served on the board of Building Changes to combat homelessness in Washington state, and am now on my second term as our city Planning Commissioner. I'm ready to bring my results-driven mindset to the Newcastle City Council. It's our city, your voice. Together, we will put Newcastle first and deliver practical solutions for Newcastle.
I’ll lead with empathy, discipline, and a commitment to excellent service. With your vote, I'll work tirelessly to strengthen Newcastle - for today and future generations.
My Priorities
Responsible Growth
Fight unchecked housing growth and preserve our quality of life with proven solutions.
Lower Taxes
Smart spending rooted in fiscal discipline, not tax hikes. Budget wisely and respect tax payers' dollars.
Community Harmony
Respect each other and support one another. Bringing our community together through shared values.
Meet Maggie
Maggie holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Accounting and is a licensed CPA. She met her husband as a college freshman through Campus Christian Fellowship, and they’ve been happily married for over 30 years. Her husband, now retired, was a college professor with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Computer Engineering. Their son, a graduate of the University of California, works in the real estate industry.
Before relocating to the Puget Sound area, the family spent two decades in California. They attended local church at Woodland Hills, CA. Maggie has a passion for travel - from the great Mt. Rainier to the rugged landscape of Patagonia and the bustling energy of China. While she enjoys adventure, she always appreciates returning to home sweet home. She enjoys taking walks through our city’s neighborhoods and trails—you’ll see her out and about this summer.
