Statement: Jeremie Dufault, 40, believes that you deserve conservative and effective representation in Olympia. He believes that the Legislature should operate in a transparent manner. That the Seattle-based efforts to impose a state income tax or create a "carbon tax" should be blocked. And that individual, Constitutional protections like religious freedom and gun rights should be preserved.
