United States Air Force, supply Sergent section lead. Maintained the mission to supply essential aircraft maintenance crews with parts and equipment to keep F-106's and C-141's alert and mission readiness. Real Estate Broker and Certified Residential Appraiser for 30 plus years. Pre-license Real Instructor and other real estate courses. Managing broker for real estate company.
  • Affordable housing. Accountability for the monies we have been "spending" on affordable housing is a must. King county his spending over $100,000,000 a year. What have we received for our money - more homeless people on the streets; people laying in their urine and overdosed on Fentanyl. Compassion is not what we are doing, what we are doing is mean and cruel. Allowing people to die lying in the streets is abuse.
  • Are streets are running Red.
  • Gender queer - get it out of our schools.
Policies have to be exact and provide for the citizens of this state. Not funded by and run by elements from California.
The Indispensable Right by Johnathan Turley He explains the history of Free Speech. Why America is the only country in the world that has a First Amendment. How speech is always under attach by the left. Why hate speech is an opinion - not a fact. Why everyone needs to understand our First Amendment and why we ALL benefit from it.
Integrity - Honesty - Trust - Good Character.

Malcom X (who hated essentially anyone who wasn't black) said you knew when you were dealing with a conservative, they'd look you in the eye and tell you what they are doing and would do.

You knew when you were dealing with a liberal, they'd lie to you, tell you have truths, and never do what they promised.
This is a tough one. I try to be fair, I try to be straight forward, I try to be honest, if I have harmed any one or offended them hurtfully - I sincerely offer my apology, I try to be friendly to everyone even if I do not agree with them, I try to listen and understand another's opinion and their life experiences.

A movie I like is Equalizer 3. Robert was asked: are you a good man or a bad man. He said I don't know.

The doctor understood and said then your a good man.
Peace an hope for my grand children and yours.
I was sitting in Trigonometry class, in the afternoon. November 22nd, 1962. I was watching small planes landing and taking off from a small airport across from the high school.

The teacher stopped the class and said, he needed to let us know that John Kennedy had bee assassinated.

I remember thinking - how is it we can put a man on the moon, but no protect our president.

This day is also know as the day the world actually stood still.
I worked after school in a radio repair shop. I worked there for 3 years until after I graduated from high school up until I enlisted into the United State Air Force.
That is unless you want to count have three simultaneous paper routes. A morning route and two afternoon routes. Probably 3 years when I was in Junior high school.
Speed of Trust. Trust is your integrity.
Life is actually good. Difficulties are part of life. Don't let them get you down.
Actual separation. Washington State is considered to have a Trifecta. That means one political cabal has control of all three elements of the state government. No balance - there is no actually balance or discussions when the state needs to solve or resole an issue. There should be a fear of one parity being the supper majority. They make the laws (don't need any across the isle discussions). They implement the laws and they make the penalties - or in most cases, make crimes to be a dismissed issue.
Affordability - Government is the single greatest harm to affordability.

Crime - unless we support the law enforcement across our state we'll become the "Gangs of New York" (movie). Crime, thefts, car jackings, rapes will become rampart as their are no deterrents to these issues and the police are hand tied to be able to tackle these issues. When prosecutors release felons back onto our streets within hours is repugnant to the citizens of our state.
Punish the criminal -be color blind.
It breaks my heart anytime I hear of a innocent young child or young adult being shot down in our streets. This is insane. A innocent - just standing nearby, 13 year old girl was shot to death while going to the mall in Alderwood with her friends.

The 16 year old was out on bail the next day even before he was given a court date. This is insane.
No! Absolutely not. I think when the speaker of the house has been in the State House for over 30 years is nuts. That's a career job.

Having a governor have 12 years - 3 terms (with no term limits) is detrimental to our state.

We need to bring good quality people to represent us and bring new uncorrupted ethics back into our governing body.
You have to have discussions with people from all histories. What I see today is people screaming at each other and not talking and discussing issues with others of a different opinion. It is not hate speech to have a different opinion with someone else.
Yes - we have seen the usurped use of emergency powers. This has been a disaster for
Washington State.
Remove Gender Queer studies from our schools. Put parental rights as the highest priority back into our schools and remove those who abuse parental rights and harm our children.
Finance, Housing, Oversight.
We have the most corrupt and deceptive governmental agencies we have ever had. We can't get answers to our questions, we are berated when we ask for actual accountability for - where did the money go.
We need to: Have in person voting; 2. The residency requirement must be reinstated to a minimum of 30 days. 3. You must show proof of US Citizenship.
4. No ballot harvesting. 5. Block rank choice voting from our state.
