In Olympia, Steve stands up for public schools, small business, aerospace, agriculture, and effective, affordable transportation infrastructure.

Steve understands the value of hard work. He enlisted in the Army as a Private and rose to Major in the Infantry. Steve applies the same work ethic to his job as our Senator, working tirelessly to help local businesses thrive by promoting policy that fosters economic growth in our community.

In the State Senate, Steve established himself as a leader with a sensible voice. He understands that government doesn’t function properly when special interests, political ideologies, and partisan vitriol are placed above the best interest of the people. Steve’s ability to work with Democrats and Republicans has earned him broad bipartisan support. Every mayor in our district – Democrats and Republicans together– has endorsed him for re-election.

Steve and his wife Pam live in Lake Stevens with their three boys, the oldest of whom recently joined the National Guard.
