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?

EMPOWERING PARENTHOOD

Parents are the primary stakeholders in their children's upbringing. The state does not raise our children — families do. Reedy believes parents have the right to know what their children are being taught, what medical decisions are being made, and what values are being promoted. Government has overstepped, and it is time to push back. Reedy will fight to restore and protect the fundamental right of parents to guide their children's lives without interference from Olympia.PROTECT & STRENGTHEN AGRICULTURE

The H-2A guest worker program must be preserved and made practical for Valley farmers. Reedy supports expanding vocational training in farming, ranching, and agricultural fields to grow the workforce. He also supports giving farmers overtime flexibility, including raising the threshold to 48 hours or providing OT exemptions during peak harvest periods, so agriculture can operate the way the seasons demand.REPEAL THE CLIMATE COMMITMENT ACT

The CCA has driven up the cost of everything: fuel, food, farming inputs. Washington was already the 5th cleanest state in America before this law passed. It's an unneeded regulation that punishes working families and Valley farmers without measurable benefit. Reedy will fight to repeal it.
