The people of Washington State are suffering through the toughest economy in generations. Just when we needed the best from our politicians they've given us their worst: Tax increases, handouts to special interests and big government programs that we simply can't afford.

We must take our government back from the politicians.

This is why I decided to challenge a 16 year incumbent and run for the Washington State House of Representatives. My priorities reflect my values and the needs of our state.

I will:

Work to restore jobs and our economy. As a leader in our family farm I've created jobs, my opponent's voting record is responsible for destroying jobs.

Protect Property Rights. My family's history proves you can be a strong
steward of the environment and still stand up for private property. I've
spent a lifetime managing forest and farm land - coping with invasive government regulations.

Balance the budget without raising taxes. Courage is in short supply in Olympia and taxpayers are paying the price.
