Welcome to my website! I’m a strong believer in
open government and involved citizens. This website is intended to help
you obtain information about various aspects of state government,
especially important issues affecting our schools and colleges, jobs,
health care, community safety and the environment. If you have any
questions or suggestions, please contact my office.
As I work for you in Olympia, I will concentrate
addressing the issues that concern people in the 21st
District and creating opportunities for everyone. I hope to:
make sure we have the best possible education
system, starting with a child's earliest years through life-long
learning;
create a well-educated, technology-focused
workforce to keep and attract employers offering good-paying jobs;
improve our transportation infrastructure to make
it safer and easier to walk, bike or drive to our destination; and
assure safe communities through a greater emphasis
on prevention and early intervention.
I look forward to hearing your ideas and opinions.
To be an effective legislator
I need your help, so please feel free to contact me.
