Welcome to my campaign for the Washington State House of Representatives. As your neighbor, citizen activist and entrepreneur in the green economy I am motivated by the prospect to bring new and effective leadership to Olympia. As a fourth-generation resident of the 36th District I have a deep appreciation for the creativity of our businesses, the industriousness of our people, and the variety of our outstanding neighborhoods. I wake up every day with a desire to improve the quality of life in our community and I pledge to take that passion with me to Olympia as your next state representative.
