Statement: As your Representative I've worked hard to listen to you and to be your voice in Olympia! When I heard the stories of local workers whose jobs were being moved out of state, I championed new corporate accountability laws to ensure jobs remain in our communities.

I fought to lower class sizes, invest in early learning programs, and cut tuition at our colleges and technical schools so our next generation can succeed. I've worked to provide affordable housing and curb homelessness, help seniors, and ensure all workers earn equal pay for equal work. I respectfully ask for your vote.
