Statement: As
your State Senator, I made a commitment to listen to your concerns and
turn them into actionable solutions that move our state forward.
As
a result of listening to your priorities, we reduced college tuition,
increased K-12 education funding, and increased funding for
those with developmental disabilities – without raising your taxes.
We accomplished this by prioritizing
what government needs to do and demanding
accountability. I’ve successfully passed legislation to end the
backlog of rape investigations, and give victims peace of mind.
I worked to tightly regulate the new marijuana system, ensuring
the system works as intended, while keeping our communities safe.
Every day, families
make tough decisions about how to balancetheir
checkbook – I hold government to the same standard. These values guide me when I serve as your voice in
Olympia.
You’ve
put your faith in me and I’m asking you to do it again. When I go
back to our Capitol, you can trust that I will continue to make sure our
children have access to a quality education, and that our economy is
thriving so people can have family-wage jobs that
pays the bills. I would be honored to earn your vote!
