Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Serving community members and giving back has always been a part of my personal and professional life. My children are now grown and my businesses are established so now it's my time to serve. I'm very proud to live in Goldendale and the 14th Legislative District, an area so blessed by beauty and a high quality of life. I'm running to ensure we can preserve and keep improving our region and to put the "representative" back in representative.

I want to learn your ideas and be your voice for them in Olympia. We have so many experienced and talented people here that I know, together, we can make a difference.
