Rep. Dean Takko

Welcome to my website. It is an honor to represent the 19th district. We have had a long history of quality leaders from our region and I hope to continue this legacy.

As a lifelong citizen of Southwest Washington I know our priorities. I have worked and raised a family, I know joys and the difficulties that each of us face. I will work diligently to restore trust in government and try to make our values a priority.

Part of my job representing the citizens of the 19th District is keeping you informed about key issues. These are the issues I’m focusing on:

  • Rural Economic Development and Diversification.
  • Produce a budget that is sustainable, invests in our future and protects the vulnerable.
  • Restoring trust in government.
  • Support Our Timber and Fishing Industries by bringing common sense to Environmental Laws.
  • Protect Local Governments from unfunded mandates from the State Government

What do you think? Please take a moment to send me a quick e-mail, or to call my office.

Sincerely,

Rep. Dean Takko
