Legislative District 5 - State Representative Pos. 1 · King County

As your representative, I’m focused on building consensus and strong communities. In my first session, I sponsored and passed bipartisan bills to lower energy costs, prioritized safety and congestion improvements along SR 18, and supported reforms to fix our housing crisis. I’m committed to supporting first responders, fully funding our schools, helping small businesses thrive, and pushing for affordable childcare and healthcare. I’d be honored to earn your vote. Endorsements: Eastside Firefighters, WA Labor Council, WA Education Association, Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates, Alliance for Gun Responsibility, Congresswoman Kim Schrier, State Sen. Victoria Hunt, State Rep. Lisa Callan, and local mayors.

Families in the 5th Legislative District deserve safer communities, stronger schools, and a state government that respects the people paying the bills. Olympia recently voted for the largest tax increase in state history while many families struggle with rising costs. Police have also been left without clear tools to protect victims and neighborhoods. With an education doctorate, and as a former police chief in this district, I bring real-world experience in public safety, education, and responsible budgeting. I will ensure state spending delivers measurable results. I will fight for stronger schools, safer communities, and will bring common-sense leadership to Olympia.
