I am a trained family physician and Stanford alumna, who followed my passion into medicine, entrepreneurship, art, and civic involvement. As a business owner, community leader, and parent in the Mercer Island School District, I am running for Mercer Island City Council, Position No. 7, to give back to and work hard for a community I love.

Art is an expression of our humanity with unlimited potential to connect people from different backgrounds and nationalities. Art transcends boundaries and has the powerful capacity to heal, empathize, bridge, and inspire. The heavens is truly the limit and I feel fortunate to ride on the wings of art’s journey. —Julie Hsieh, MD
