Welcome to our campaign website! |
I’ve worked for the past six years in Olympia to bring straight talk, common sense values to legislation. As a small business owner and former mayor, I have demanded a balanced budget for our state. I have supported closing tax loopholes for out of state corporations that hurt our home grown businesses, targeting investments in education and health care, andmaintaining essential services to our most vulnerable residents.
While our economy has faltered, I have remained focused on the bottom line for our state. Targeted investments in education and infrastructure while easing tax burdens on small businesses and families will continue to ensure a successful future in Washington.
In a time of tough budgets, it’s important to remember our priorities. Education must continue to be fully funded in order to build a strong future for Washington. As a former teacher and having worked with at-risk youth, I understand what a difference an education can make for a child, in fact, given the global competition for the jobs, it is the only avenue to a successful future for the students of Washington.
This past year, I have assured funding for the eastside of the 520 bridge project, which is essential for the economy on both sides of Lake Washington.
As a small business owner, I realize that the bottom line is the most important. We cannot spend irresponsibly, and I have worked to ensure that in Olympia. I look forward to the chance to represent you for the upcoming legislative session and in the future.
Your input is critical, please do not hesitate to contact me. Let’s talk.
