Rep. Steve Tharinger

Rep. Tharinger stands up for affordable health care for rural communities at a press conference on February 29:

Thank you for stopping by my web site!

As your legislator, it is my goal to be open and accessible to you while ensuring that our community has a voice in our state’s capital.  I have lived in our community for over thirty years and have seen it grow, change and evolve through good and bad economic times.  Those of us who have chosen to live in the 24th Legislative District know that it’s a special place to call home.  From the coastline to the rainforest, and all the communities in between, we have some of Washington’s most spectacular scenery and precious natural resources right here.

These are challenging times, not only for our state but our entire nation.  There is legitimate anxiety and concern about the future.  With uncertainty often comes fear, which can divide communities.  Now is the time for us to stand together, neighbor to neighbor, and work together on real solutions.   Finding the right balance of economic development, job creation, natural resource stewardship and protection of our most community’s most vulnerable is essential to preserving our quality of life.   These are the issues I will be tackling both in Olympia and back home in the district, and I hope you will be part of the ongoing conversation.  I welcome your comments, thoughts, and feedback.

Sincerely,

Rep. Steve Tharinger
