Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I believe that by working together we can improve our schools, our communities, and our government itself. We do have the power to shape our future. We can create and implement an agenda that will result in jobs that will support a family, pensions for our senior years, and medical coverage which we can rely on. I will work hard on issues our district cares about including: education, public safety, transportation, jobs and the environment. As a city council member I have always placed community priorities over political partisanship, I will do the same working for you in Olympia.
