Statement

Washington is in a deep budget hole. Each year brings new taxes combined with cuts to priority areas like childcare and education. We need new, strong voices in Olympia who will fix the budget mess and get Washington back to investing in what matters for the working families, farms, and small businesses that are the backbones of our Eastern Washington communities.

I have the experience of 25 years in business and 10 years in responsive local government. As your representative, I will bring conviction and change to Olympia. If you want something different, it’s time to vote for someone different.
