(Prefers Republican Party) statement likely human

Olympia has lost focus. As a Navy veteran, public finance banker, and 13-year school board member, I help lead one of Washington’s top 10% school districts. We focus on literacy, math, school safety, responsible spending, and career, technical, and skilled-trades pathways. Olympia should strengthen schools, not cut K-12 programs, including Running Start and Transitional Kindergarten, while passing an income tax and diverting money from the police and firefighter pension fund. Washingtonians deserve better. I will bring balance, accountability, and common sense to Olympia, standing with parents, students, seniors, veterans, law enforcement, and working families. I respectfully ask for your vote.

You deserve common sense leaders in Olympia. As your Representative, I’ve worked to address the rising cost of groceries by securing a tax cut for Washington farmers, sponsored legislation to fund more local police officers, and voted against raising taxes on working families and seniors. But we must do more to bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, gas, and utilities, while creating well-paying jobs. I helped complete a trade school in our community, and I’ll prioritize funding for our schools to expand opportunity for all. I’ll continue protecting reproductive rights and our democracy. I ask for your vote.
