“During this time of extreme trial for us on the Olympic Peninsula, we have been overwhelmed by the irresponsible mismanagement of a huge surplus of state funds from three years of boom economy.  Begging the federal government for money and medical help while our most vulnerable workers suffer is proof we need new legislators.  As a retired Army officer, retired federal employee, and a small business owner I am dedicated to restoring the resiliency of our Peninsula to a vibrant, strong business and employment climate healthy for all of us.

I am focused on the quality of education that provides a good career, giving families school choice, and re-prioritizing funds for better management.  I am against state income and carbon taxes.  We need to enable our landlords to provide housing for those who need it, not harm the housing industry. I am pro-business and pro-union, and for a future which offers our children a self-sufficient, happy life and not condemn them to a hut or tent in a parking lot.   We must both reinvigorate our local businesses and restore environmental health as well as halting large city water pollution of our marine ecosystem that has been harming our Orcas and other marine life.

I am committed to making progress to establish the quality of life we are entitled to, and to stop the human degradation that current legislation has passed which is ruining the lives of families, communities, and harming our precious Olympic Peninsula lifestyle.  Join me and together we will accomplish this vision.”
