Experience

Her husband is a Weapons Systems Officer in the US Navy and has served 3 combat tours over the course of their marriage. She began serving in her community shortly after opening her boutique, The Soaking Tub in Downtown Hanford, when she was elected to serve on the Board of Directors with Main Street Hanford (2015-2018), she co-founded a 501(c)3 called Heart of Hanford with the purpose of helping to protect and preserve Hanford’s historic downtown. During that time Heart of Hanford began the monthly Art Hop and organized protests of the destruction of the Old Historic Fire Station on Lacey – now just a vacant lot with no plan moving forward . Her leadership experience includes serving as Chair of the LP of Kings County where she has organized different events to include 2019’s Yosemite Park Cleanup during the Government shutdown. As a business owner she began advocating for small businesses in her town which steered her to run for Hanford City Council in 2016.

Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
Many of Hanford’s problems are caused by government intrusion into the everyday lives of Hanford’s residents and businesses. Kalish has a platform based around cutting the red tape and getting government out of the way of development, give Hidden Valley Park to the people of Hanford to develop as they see fit, get government out of the way of community solutions to the homeless crisis, and focusing our priority on public safety.
