Kiara Daniels
Council Member At-Large Position 6
At-Large Council Member Kiara Daniels was elected in November 2021. A proud Tacoma native and resident of Central Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood, she is a longtime community advocate who values giving back and contributing to a stronger community.
While attending The Evergreen State College, where she earned a master’s degree in public administration, Council Member Daniels was inspired to follow in her parents’ footsteps – each of whom served more than 30 years for the State of Washington – and work to enhance services across the community. She has since dedicated her entire career to strengthening community access to education, affordable housing, and local business development.
In her time serving as a volunteer at the Northwest Leadership Foundation, Council Member Daniels adopted a mantra – “Love our city.” With this mantra energizing her and fueling her passion and ongoing commitment to Tacoma, she believes that if we really love our city, we will care for the people in it by ensuring everyone has access to basic human rights, including safe and affordable housing, food security, quality public education, living wage jobs, and safety.
