Issue Position

Steve will fight so that our tax dollars are put to work here at home. He has fought against unfair tolling practices and will continue to work hard so that we earn our fair share of transportation projects to account for growth, improve commutes, and keep our roads safe.

A strong and efficient transportation infrastructure is the key to our region's continued economic growth and success. If Washington state wants to continue to grow economically, it is vital that we address our transportation system and look for ways to reduce congestion throughout our region. As the Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, Steve has fought for hundreds of millions of dollars of transportation investment into our community. He has been instrumental in key projects including:

SR 9/SR 204 (Frontier Village) intersection improvements
Reconstructing 35th Ave in Mill Creek
Funding for a new Snohomish River Bridge
Safety improvements along SR 9 & SR 527
I-5 interchange improvements at 116th and 88th in Marysville
Continuing to widen SR 9
