On the Issues

The economic forest fire has destroyed jobs, businesses and families in its path. As your state representative, my immediate responsibility has been to put out the fire while protecting our most vulnerable citizens. We have saved our state’s credit and investment worthiness while holding fast to our core values.

Now we must rebuild.

Boeing, Microsoft and Starbucks were invented here because our state has always been an economic pioneer. Our recovery will come from new jobs, new companies and new industries that use our region’s wonderful strengths: our well-educated, highly pro-ductive workforce, our ports and proximity to global markets, and a new generation of entrepreneurial leadership.

I will continue to provide leadership to make strategic investments in schools, infrastructure, clean-energy and in protecting our environment.

It’s a great honor to represent you in Olympia by making sure our community’s values and vision shape our state’s future.

My door (electronic and real world) is always open. Do please call, email or “friend” me on Facebook.

I want and need to hear from you!
