My Vision

I envision a state with strong communities; where individuals have social equity, organizations and businesses have economic growth opportunities and there is stewardship of the environment.

A State with the resources available to graduate the next generation of diverse and creative leaders for the State, Country, and the World and who foster innovation for our local businesses big and small.

  • I believe we can build an education system that engages children, expanding on their unique creativity and talent, and that crafts an individualized plan for success.
  • I believe in a state that is a leader in the technologies of the future thereby attracting corporations and organizations from around the world and that supports our small businesses and trades to ensure jobs for middle class families.
  • I believe in a Washington that prioritizes inclusion, invests in humans, and embraces our diversity.

MY MISSION

To develop a thriving, prosperous middle class by investing in education, tackling our growth and traffic challenges and creating safe and secure neighborhoods for our families.
