Statement: Our community has the location, natural resources and people to be one of the most prosperous in our state. And the world. Unfortunately, we've let special interests-from other places-hold us back. It's time for real change. It's time to let loggers log, fishermen fish, builders build and shippers ship. It's time to send someone new to Olympia.

Let me be your representative. Our local jobs are being crushed by laws written for Seattle. Our local schools and kids are being shortchanged. State government is failing us. I will fight...every day...to change this for the better.
