I graduated High School in 1989 and enlisted in the United States Air Force where I served briefly until medically discharged. After that, I attended and graduated from the Electrical Union 5-year Apprenticeship program. I have worked labor jobs all his life. I am a Union Electrician with nineteen years' experience. During this time, I was appointed as a Union Business Representative and served five years in an administrative position, where I developed a desire for politics. 4 years ago, I was appointed by the Snohomish County Council to the Snohomish County Performance Audit Committee. I am an active volunteer in the community.
- Public Safety - We need to fully fund our LEO's, giving them the tools to do their jobs, not hindering them. We need more patrol officers, not less if we want to lower the personal and property crime rates.
- Economics/Inflation - Inflation is hurting every working family, with the cost of Rent, gasoline and groceries. We need to stop over taxing our constituents, and give some tax relief to help during this time.
- Schools/ Education - The funding for our schools needs to be fixed. I believe in school choice, and a parent right to know what their child is being taught
