Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

As a small business owner I believe in less regulation for job growth and economic development. I also support building a robust infrastructure for Washington State in terms of sewer, water, power and broadband.As a former Corrections Officer I support our police and will look to reverse the laws that have handcuffed our police and given power to criminals. I will also look to help those with mental health issues and currently are criminalized because of the help they need.We all know that we are not being heard by our government. We need a leader who will advocate for our wants and needs, and I am prepared to serve as a voice for our community.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about Economic Growth and the policies that support and not hinder it. I am also passionate about Police having the proper tools and policy to be able to do their jobs. I am also passionate about energy policy and making sure we do not have a failing power grid and support our dams. We need to make sure that we can continue to supply power to all at a reasonable rate and not bloated because of policies that do not bring reasonable rates and power for all.
