Dear Friends,
It’s my great honor to be representing you in Olympia. I take my role as representative of the people of the 11th Legislative District very seriously. Our state and nation are in the midst of a tumultuous time. Now more than ever, we must commit ourselves to redesigning our state government so it reflects what we believe it could and should do for its people.
With that in mind, I’m pleased to be the Chair of the House General Government Appropriations & Oversight Committee. This committee manages the funding and oversight of general government, natural resources, and corrections programs and agencies, and makes funding recommendations to the final fiscal committee, the Ways and Means Committee.
During these tough times, I hope to make these tough choices with as much input as possible, and with an eye on delivering government services differently. That’s why I strongly encourage you to sign up for my e-newsletter so you can have a legislative roundup delivered to your inbox. You can sign up by clicking here.
