Thank you for visiting my campaign website! 

 

I’ve been working hard as your State Senator for the past eleven years, bringing ideas and concerns from our legislative district to Olympia. Together we’ve achieved great results in the face of tremendous economic and partisan challenges - from stronger state funding for our public schools to modernizing our mental health system, to protecting orca whales from extinction. 

 

As the Chair of the Senate Ways and Means Committee since 2018, my colleagues in Olympia have placed their faith in me to help guide our legislature through good times and bad. For the past five years, I have led us to finish our work on time, with a four-year balanced budget, billions in reserves, and no special sessions – an achievement that has not happened since 1895! We are the only state in the nation that plans over four years, and we have been awarded for our fiscal prudence with the highest bond ratings in the country.

 

Now more than ever, we need responsible leaders who believe in our Democracy and are optimistic about our future. In Olympia, I will protect our current election system and make sure every Washingtonian has the right to cast their vote. I have always stood for a woman’s right to make our own reproductive choices and will make sure our state does not go backward. I will continue to back common-sense gun safety laws that keep weapons out of the hands of people who would harm others. And I will keep leading on the environment – working to clean Puget Sound, bring back our salmon, reduce climate pollution, and protect and restore our state’s forests and natural heritage.

 

Kitsap County has a history of electing representatives who place community priorities over party labels. I share this ethic and will always place progress over partisanship to get things done.

 

I am easily available to you- please feel free to email me and I will do my best to respond personally and promptly.  If you have concerns about legislative matters, you can contact me through my legislative office.

 

Thank you for visiting this website. I hope I will have your support.
