Cindy Carter

(Prefers Republican Party) statement appears human

I am running for the 40th Legislative District to represent the people. My opponent voted for the statewide income tax against the will of the people. I will fight to repeal this unconstitutional tax before it forces every Washingtonian to register their personal financial information with the state. I am committed to bring fiscal responsibility back to the state. My priorities include improving Transportation, especially fixing the ferry and bridge issues, and restoring Washington’s education to national excellence. Together, let’s put government back in the hands of the people and deliver results to strengthen our families and communities.
