Qualifications
As state representative, I advocate for legislation that provides adequate funding for required services. Washington needs to encourage business investment by reducing regulation and creating a supportive business environment.
We have an obligation to manage our natural resources in a manner that focuses on productivity, restoration, and preservation. I will work to prevent the erosion of private property rights while ensuring responsible and respectful utilization of property.
