Statement: I am Libertarian who stands for less bureaucracy and more opportunity for Washington. We face serious problems brewing in our community: an affordable housing crisis spreading from Seattle through cities like Bellevue Kirkland and Redmond, mass transit and highway policies that are increasing rather than decreasing congestion, and state laws which continue to disproportionately punish minorities for nonviolent crimes. I want to bring market positive, small government solutions to these problems. If elected, I will push for relaxed residential zoning laws, the elimination of toll lanes, the partial privatization of mass transit, and the decriminalization of nonviolent petty crimes.
