Statement: I am running as an independent to stand up for you in Olympia! Born and raised in Washington, I am a fifth generation commercial fisherman, second generation Navy veteran, and first generation attorney. After my honorable discharge, I committed myself to helping veterans and making the world a better place. That has inspired my work representing families and fighting to lower costs and improve outcomes in the private sector and government.

Vote for an establishment politician for more of the same in Olympia; if you agree we can do better, I would be honored to earn your vote.
