Statement: I am running for my second term in the State Senate to continue advocating for the needs and concerns of the 10th Legislative District. During recent legislative sessions I have sponsored bills to fix water access issues in the Skagit Valley, reduce tuition in our state's colleges and universities, worked to reduce class sizes in grades K-3, and defended against big proposed tax increases. I teamed with other Senators to pass a vital transportation package that was desperately needed within our district and state.

I will continue to focus on job creation and growing our economy. I will insist that basic education is amply funded, that teachers are compensated fairly and not burdened with non-education related requirements, that government is more transparent and held accountable to the people, and that services provided are delivered in a timely and efficient manner.

I will continue to lead the development of programs that ensure our veterans receive the assistance they need, and that they are treated with the respect and honor they deserve. I will continue to work with everyone, Democrats and Republicans, to achieve solutions.

I humbly ask for your vote, and look forward to continued service for you.
