Statement: I believe we need common sense leadership in Olympia. That means less unnecessary government involvement in your life and more focus on four critical things: (1) providing effective education for our youth that embraces their diversity of needs, cultures and families; (2) providing for the protection of your person, property and constitutional rights through effective public safety and education; (3) providing for safe infrastructure, like roads; and, (4) providing an effective and compassionate safety net for the most needy. Imagine what Washington could accomplish if we eliminate government waste and excess and focus on excellence in these four things.
