Statement: I enjoyed serving the people and businesses of Spokane Valley for my first four year term. One of my campaign promises was to serve no more than two terms. I would be proud to serve for one final term. As a representative of all the residents and businesses I have worked hard for lower taxes, less government and more freedom. I consistently voted for no tax increase and moved to reduce property taxes. I helped reduce business-hampering rules and regulations. During my next and final term I will focus on no new taxes.
