My goals are straightforward. 1. Bridging Partisan Divides: No one wins when we have isolated conversations that lead to one-sided legislation. I remain committed to working collaboratively with bipartisan ideas. 2. Meaningful Legislation: Our communities deserve impactful legislation. I will continue championing tax relief, rectifying harmful police reform bills, advocating for more reliable energy sources, including nuclear, hydroelectric and natural gas, and dismantling regulations hindering small businesses and farmers. 3. Open Advocacy: I will continue to be an accessible resource for all 16th District constituents. I appreciate your support for my re-election.

The Mid-Columbia is helping develop the future of energy, agriculture, science, and technology, but too often government moves too slowly to help deploy real solutions. Families and businesses cannot afford gridlock, endless delays, or politics that prioritize ideological battles over results. We need practical leadership focused on housing, water security, reliable energy, and economic opportunity while streamlining barriers that prevent progress and innovation from moving forward. I’ll work with anyone, regardless of party, to move practical solutions forward and help build a stronger future for communities across the 16th District.
