Statement: As a wife, mother, and grandmother, I’m concerned about the direction of our state and country. Our politicians don’t listen. Special interests control too much. Government spends more than we get in return.  

I’m running for State Senate because we can’t keep sending the same people to Olympia and expect a different result. We need someone who will represent everyone on the Peninsula, not just a select few. I will be that independent voice for our district. My priority is helping our community, not the political bosses or special interests.  

We need world-class schools to prepare our kids for today’s global economy. We need to create jobs in the areas of our state that have been left behind while Seattle prospers. I'll focus on creating a friendly business environment, job opportunities, improving our schools, and controlling government spending.  

We deserve a State Senator who will genuinely represent us. I will listen and learn from the real people impacted by policy decisions. My 30 years of community leadership and activism are a testament to my commitment. I would appreciate your vote.
