Kris Strutner grew up in the Yakima Valley working for local ranchers and farmers. He is a heavy civil construction and infrastructure professional running to restore opportunity, affordability, and local control in Yakima County. County government has become too expensive, too restrictive, and too disconnected from working families, agriculture, and small business owners. Government regulation (Flock Cameras) continue to expand while affordability and opportunity continue to decline. Kris will work to end YCWRS (Well Metering) permitting requirements, slash unnecessary permitting and building regulations, decrease the cost to build, support agricultural workers and employers, and streamline environmental and development review processes.
