Statement: I have over a thousand hours of teaching experience in this
state. I know that recent regulations from Olympia have caused more problems in
the classroom than they've solved. I am
socially liberal, and on public record as a strong supporter of marriage
equality since before 2002.
I strongly oppose all efforts to institute a state income tax, or to raise any
other taxes. I oppose electronic tolling
on I-405, and support the construction of an additional general purpose lane
from Lynnwood through Bellevue in each direction and more lanes on I-5 to
reduce your commute times.
