Born in Florida, raised in Connecticut, I moved to Washington State almost 40 years ago. I have a BA degree in Economics from Ohio University and a Master of Health Administration degree from Duke University. I have worked primarily in healthcare organizations, both in management and staff roles, and have also worked as a consultant.

I am running for the State Legislature because I want the voters to have a Republican alternative to the Democrat-dominated politics in Washington State. Our state government is too big, too intrusive, spends too much, taxes too much, and delivers too little. Our rights are ignored and even criminalized. It's time for a return to American values, a return to rational government, a return to our freedoms. Government should serve the people; our current leaders think the people should serve the government. It's time for a change. I want to be part of that change.


  • Limit the Governor's emergency powers. Mandate that the Legislature be called into session no later than 14 days after an emergency is declared;
  • Repeal I-1639, along with other prior unconstitutional gun control laws;
  • Balance the budget without compromising essential services;
Personal freedom. All other issues really fall under the category of restoring our freedom. Gun control, supporting public safety (law enforcement and fire protection), tax reduction, spending reduction, limiting the power of government and the Governor in particular, all have the effect of restoring our personal freedom to live our lives as we see fit. With few exceptions, adults are capable of making their own life decisions, and we don't need the government telling us what to do and how to do it.
My dad. Ronald Reagan. Jesus. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Founders of our country. I admire those people who have "stepped up" and put their names, their lives and their reputations on the line for the good of others. Sometimes it's the volunteer tutor or volunteer coach in one's community. Other times, it's a political leader, or a mentor. I follow the builders, the peacemakers, those who stand in the gap for others, those who face adversity and persevere.
Remember WHY the people who put you in office decided to vote for you. Remember that you are their servant, and that they sent you to represent them.
Remember WHY the people who put you in office decided to vote for you. Remember that you are their servant, and that they sent you to represent them. Ensure that all legislation is constitutional, and as much as possible, is morally right. Ensure that all government actions are necessary, and cannot be performed by private parties, even if the private parties perform less-comprehensive programs. Stay humble.
I left the place better than I found it.
The JFK assassination. I was 10. It seemed that everyone was so sad, and everything seemed to stop for a few days.
My first job with a real paycheck was at the local McDonald's. I worked there for about 5 months, and after a short break, returned for another 4 months.
The Bible. Obvious reasons. "Bears, Bibles and a Boy" - I am named after the author.
Questionnaires. Keeping my sense of humor and wit in check.
NO! I believe it is important to legislators to have sufficient life experience, and to some degree, formal education, so that they can make good decisions. "Prior government experience" smacks of "are they a member of The Club?", which is a big problem in politics at present. Many of our politicians are self-serving, not people-serving.
I favor following existing political boundaries, such as county lines and city limits, as much as possible, as these boundaries reflect the choices of the people living there. I think gerrymandering is an abomination.
I am interested in supporting the party leadership and being part of the caucus, but I do not aspire to leading the party.
No. I did not plan on running for the State Legislature; I have spent most of my adult life working and raising a family. I coached youth baseball and served on the league board. I have done some other volunteer work.
