| Collapse all
- Addressing addiction, especially fentanyl use, is critical to saving lives, safer communities and ending much of the homelessness problem. Proven successful services for mentally ill, drug treatment and job training, utilizing public/private partnerships, are key to solving this growing concern. I will seek effective programs and promote implementing those with optimum outcomes.
- We all know that crime is skyrocketing in our area and in Washington State. As your Senator, I will work to restore laws that enable our police and justice departments to arrest and prosecute those who break our laws Ending soft-on-crime policies and supporting Law Enforcement by giving them the tools they need to their job will improve Public Safety
- Washington residents are struggling with the ever-increasing cost of living and oppressive taxes. The State is on track to have a $15 Billion-dollar surplus. Instead of frivolous spending, I will work for tax relief to help seniors, businesses, working families and individuals keep more of their hard-earned money.
Along with the human tragedy, as an environmental engineer, I can’t help but be concerned about the countless acres of land being contaminated by tons of solid and hazardous waste. This is contaminating storm water, impacting wildlife and neighborhoods and is a direct result of enabling drug abuse rather than enforcing basic sanitation and public health laws.
