If I am elected, I will interpret the laws enacted by the legislature in a manner which is consistent with the laws’ plain meaning. I will not make new law. I will work to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Washington. I will work to preserve the delicate balance inherent in our federalist system of government.[3] - John Gary Metro[7] | ” |
