Legislative District 31 - State Senator · King County

It’s been an honor to serve as your voice in the State Senate and stand up for the values, freedoms, and common sense that make our communities strong. My approach to decision-making is simple: God first, the district second, and personal preference last. That principle guides every vote I take in Olympia. It’s why I regularly seek your feedback through district surveys and town halls. Your voice should shape the decisions that affect our communities. The financial challenges facing our state are not accidental. They stem from excessive spending and the unchecked growth of government programs. Individuals, families, seniors, workers, and small businesses are all being crushed by rising taxes and higher costs and for many of us, we’ve reached the breaking point. I will continue to stand firmly against efforts to erode our Second Amendment rights, and I will fight for responsible, disciplined use of your tax dollars. I ask for your continued support as I work to protect your rights, defend your prosperity, and fight for a more accountable state government. Proudly endorsed by law enforcement leaders, local elected officials, community leaders, and neighbors across the district who trust me to represent their values at the state Capitol.

I’m running for State Senate in the 31st district because I believe our communities deserve a senator who shows up, listens, and works for everyone who calls this district home. Families are being priced out, infrastructure is straining under rapid growth, and our schools are asked to do more with less. At the same time, too many people feel unheard, or afraid to speak up. I’m a mom, an organizer, and a veteran spouse. I’ve worked as a youth counselor with kids in crisis, supported military families through deployments, and spent eight years putting down roots near Lake Tapps, raising my two boys with my husband. Our current challenges aren’t abstract policy debates to me; they are my life. I believe we can govern better. I will lead with honesty, compassion, and determination to solve problems while representing the whole 31st district. I will advocate for our communities to be prioritized by Olympia, particularly in the transportation budget. We deserve leadership that cares about families, champions education, and takes rural infrastructure development seriously. I would be honored to earn your vote.
