Welcome to my legislative web page. Thank you for entrusting me to represent you in Olympia. It’s a responsibility I take very seriously. This is where you can quickly find a variety of information on my priorities, press releases, my biography and other items of interest.

Serving as your state representative, I have spent time in Olympia working on a variety of issues that impact the 7th Legislative District. Through my experience, I have learned that in order to get things done for you, it takes a combination of hard work, the ability to work across the aisle and, most important, to listen to your needs to ensure my focus is in the right direction.

The most urgent issue facing the Legislature is ensuring a sustainable budget that lives within our means without raising taxes and fees. Just like families are adjusting their budgets to align with their income, I will continue to advocate that government do the same. I believe we can craft a budget within the current revenues while not using gimmicks, such as the use of one-time raids of the many state dedicated accounts and federal money to pay for ongoing programs. We need to solve state budget problems by first looking at critical government reforms and efficiencies, then putting a laser focus on how the state can encourage private-sector job creation and retention.

This is your government and your feedback is important to me. My door is always open to you and I want to hear your opinion on issues you care about. Please call, write or send an e-mail with your concerns, suggestions or questions anytime. You will find my contact information at the top of this page.
