Statement: Tacoma is an “amazing” city, its strength lies with its people. Together with your support and vote, I look forward becoming your next #27 District Senator this November. Our city needs a leader to represent, promote and protect Tacoma’s best interests in State Legislature. Unlike other candidates, I was born and raised in Tacoma, third generation Washingtonian.

Given this local perspective and personal commitment, I’m better able to advocate for the needs and concerns of Tacoma's residents in Olympia. My leadership goals are rooted in being strong proponent for business development, entrepreneurship, employment/wage sustainability. Lets continue to maintian support for local police, fire and 1st responders, this issue is close to my heart.

As we move forward together as a community, it’s important to remember our commitment to uplift our young people, seniors, disabled and communities of color. Tacoma has a long history of diversity of thought, culture, lifestyle and civil rights. This has resulted in an ever growing and important Artist and creative community here.

Tacoma needs to maintain that sense of livability and affordability for all its communities to continue to be successful, moving forward. I thank you for your support and ask for your vote.
