In the Marines, if you were digging a fighting hole without a plan, someone stopped you fast. In Olympia they just keep digging, deeper into your paycheck, deeper into your family budget, deeper into the pockets of working families.\u00a0 I\u2019m a retired Marine Colonel, Mayor of Washougal, and State Representative. I voted against a state income tax because families have had enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leadership means discipline, accountability, and knowing when to stop digging. It\u2019s time to tell Olympia to put down the shovel.<\/span><\/h3>\n

As your State Representative, I went to Olympia with a simple mission: fight for Southwest Washington families and bring some common sense back to state government.<\/p>\n

During my first term, I focused on the issues that matter most to our communities: public safety, transportation, emergency response, and government accountability. I sponsored legislation to strengthen search and rescue operations, improve transparency in homelessness programs, support local fire districts, improve transportation infrastructure, and make our roads safer.<\/p>\n

I also stood up against higher taxes and reckless spending. When Olympia pushed policies that would make it harder for working families to get ahead, I voted no. Families are already dealing with rising costs, they don’t need politicians reaching deeper into their wallets.<\/p>\n

My experience as a Marine Colonel taught me that leadership means setting priorities, demanding accountability, and solving problems. That’s the approach I’ve brought to Olympia: mission first, results over rhetoric, and always putting the people of Southwest Washington ahead of politics.<\/p>\n

There’s still a lot of work to do. I’ll keep fighting for safe communities, strong local infrastructure, responsible budgeting, and a government that works for the people who pay the bills.<\/p>\n
