Campaign themes
2016
Patti's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Education I’ll make education funding my highest priority, from early childhood through higher education, while insisting on high academic standards that prepare kids with the skills they need to be successful in our new economy. We also need to begin planning for the post-McCleary era to ensure that Washington does not fall behind again. Public Safety I have been a career firefighter for over 14 years. I bring a unique, first person perspective on the issues surrounding public safety. Our region has the deadliest transportation hot spots in the State and our State Patrol, sheriffs, and police are woefully underfunded. The wildfires of the past two years, including the fire in Matlock, prove our State is ill-prepared for the next natural or man-made disaster. Leadership To me, leadership means working with members of both parties to solve problems and not being afraid to disagree with your friends. These days it seems like there’s too much political bickering, partisanship, and special interest in Olympia. We need a legislature that will do its work efficiently, effectively, and on time. I will bring innovation, common sense, and a bipartisan approach to finding solutions.[1] |
