| Collapse all
Dean is the only Republican candidate in this race that has ever won a publicly elected office and currently serves as a two-term elected official on the Puyallup City Council.
Dean was also elected to various non-profit organizations and served as Vice President of the Pacific Northwest Franklin Graham Festival as well as the International Adoption Ministry of YWAM.
Other Professional Experience: Dean served as a Pastor of several churches in Spanaway, Lakewood and Tacoma; Executive Director with Breast Cancer Network of Strength and currently employed as a Personal Stylist at Nordstrom
Education:
Master of Arts, Faith International University & SeminaryThe restoration of free speech and freedom of religion with unencumbered freedom to express ones belief without fear of retribution or discrimination
The opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every man, woman and child
- The protection of Social Security for our seniors and government policies that stimulate job growth to expand employment opportunities for everyone
Towards that vision, Dean was the only candidate in his last city council re-election with major endorsements from both political parties including current Democratic Congressman Denny Heck as well as Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party.
In addition, Dean also had strong support from various union members, police, firefighters, teachers and small business owners. This type of leadership is very rare and desperately needed in today's politically divided climate.
Our freedoms and rights are being threatened, hence Dean upholds: The whole Constitution, not just parts of it; Religious freedom without fear of government intrusion; Civil liberties for everyone with the unencumbered freedom to express ones beliefs without fear of retribution; A return to civil and respectful dialog; Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; 2nd Amendment; The protection of Social Security for our seniors!
Also what I find fascinating about the Bible is that it is the most read and published book in world history with an estimated printing of over 6 billion copies to date with some portions of the Bible being translated into over 3000 languages world wide.
