Mike Briggs was a 2014 Democratic candidate for District 18-Position 1 of the Washington House of Representatives.[1]

Campaign themes

2014

Briggs' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Balanced Representation

  • Excerpt: "As someone who has worked and lived in the Northwest, I believe that fair representation in the 18th Legislative District is vital to the long-term success of our community. I believe that we are currently lacking fair and an informed representation for all of our citizens in the 18th district. I want to change this."

Transportation

  • Excerpt: "Transportation is critical to our local economy and I am committed to supporting legislation that ensures a well maintained and innovative infrastructure in the 18th District."

Education

  • Excerpt: "One of my chief goals is to work with our legislature to ensure that the young people in the 18th have the opportunity to get an affordable education for a fulfilling career. This means embracing new methods of education, including modern technology, and training for tomorrow's workforce, be it a traditional four year institution, union apprenticeships or local trade school programs. Education is an investment in our future and not an expense, this is why I support the 2012 McLeary Decision which demands that the State of Washington’s legislators to “fully fund education, K-12 by 2018"."
