Welcome

"I am proud to be representing the great people of the 21st District. I can’t begin to tell you just how much I have valued your support. It’s what makes my work in the State House possible.

Our state faces many challenges in the coming year but it is crucial that the needs of our children be part of this conversation. Even in today’s economic climate, we must remember that the investment we make today in educating our children will help bring benefits and economic returns for years to come.

Hard choices must not come at the expense of Washington families. Rebuilding a strong economy that generates both revenue and family wage jobs is critical to the strength of our community.

Yes, there is a lot more to do. Let's get to work!"
