It is time for a change. I am weary of seeing the toxic social experimentation that emanates from this district. Our current legislator speaks of “fairness and equity” while advancing an agenda that illiberally undermines our rights and values. We all aspire to live in good health, safety and economic freedom with the assurance of a brighter future for our families and ourselves. The operatives of the other party are in it for their uniquely partisan interests above and afar from our immediate community. I have enjoyed a life of modest success based on hard work, perseverance, spiritual strength, cooperation, collegiality and intellectual honesty. I will apply these attributes in supporting the citizens of this district, this state and this country.
  • Affirm and Nurture the Family: The family is our universally shared common value of humanity. It is also the closest form of self-governance. Transparent and empowering education is key.
  • Bolster Personal Agency and Independence: Protect and Promote small business. Reduce and eliminate oppressive and unfair taxes.
  • Assure Responsible Law Enforcement & Public Safety: Support crime reduction and reduce drug availability and dependency.
Ethical and empowering education that promotes personal agency and intellectual integrity.
Eric Bonhoeffer. He stood up to evil at the ultimate cost.
A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell is an excellent primer on the ideological origins of political struggles. I am guided by the knowledge that there are inherent limits to what a responsible and accountable government can provide. Wisdom cannot be legislated. It comes from the study of past errors and their cautious, judicious avoidance in public policy. Our current pace and trend in public policy is far outpacing the assumptions and anticipations of deleterious downstream effects. Without including all informed voices the law of unintended consequences too often ensures poor result. Once implemented, it is almost impossible to reverse.
Honesty, Integrity, Consistency and Trustworthiness
Intellectual curiosity; deep knowledge of history, a natural degree of skepticism (show me), an engineer’s mind for science and a responsible businessman’s stoicism.
Transparency and openness are a necessity. An open mind and open heart are indispensable. But,
I do not dwell on legacy. I face every day with an open mind and open heart, but with a degree stoicism.
The assassination of JFK when I was 9 years old. I remember my parents grieving.
Box boy for a local grocery store at the age of 16. I held it through high school.
The governor is the CEO of the state. The legislator is the representative of his/her community. Local community takes precedence over party.
Washington state needs to return to a government that serves the interests of its citizenry. One party rule for as long as this state has had is a threat to individual rights and economic freedom.
It’s advisable but not necessary. But, many citizens who have had experience WITH government and politics have enough to be IN government. Too often, we have been led by so-called experts that have not necessarily led us to desirable or fruitful outcomes. The errors of the “experts” are manifest around us.
I am absolutely convinced that successful outcomes are based upon healthy and open relationships. As a former sales executive, honesty and integrity are key to healthy relationships.
John Kennedy, Senator, Louisiana
Thomas Massie,
No
No. The recent abuse of the use of emergency powers is evident. So many suffered.
Parental transparency in education
Education, Science & Technology, Energy and Environment
Financial transparency is non-negotiable for a functioning democracy. A government that is not accountable to its citizenry is tyranny.
The state ballot initiative process ensures a path for the citizens to assure their voice is heard. Citizens Initiatives that are successful are proof of the legislature being tone deaf to its responsibilities.
