Statement: Washington State belongs to us, not the lobbyists. As your state representative I am fighting to shine a light on currently concealed political spending, including from out of state interest groups. The economic recovery must include all citizens. That means attracting new jobs, new investment and new ideas through holding fast to our values: protecting the vulnerable, excellence in education, affordable, local and accessible college, health care, opportunity for all, fiscal discipline and a commitment to a special quality of life we treasure. Together we can build a better Washington and Vancouver for our families and the future.
