Thank you for visiting my legislative website. Within these webpages, you will find information on me – including my bio, news releases, videos, email updates, legislation, and contact information. This platform is meant to be a resource and window into the Legislature and state government. I encourage you to be a part of the debates and decisions being made in Olympia.

It’s an honor to represent the people and communities of the 20th District. When I talk to constituents, they make it clear what they expect from me: more economic opportunity, not more taxes and fees. They want a life that is affordable and free of government intrusion. I share these ideals and use them to guide my decisions as a state representative.

An important part of my job is listening to, understanding, and responding to those I represent. Please feel free to contact me anytime. I welcome your calls, emails, and letters.

My responsibilities

Economic and Revenue Forecast Council

I am a member of the Washington State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council (ERFC). The ERFC supports statewide goals by accurately forecasting economic activity and state tax revenue for Washington state. It is comprised of both legislative and executive members and the state treasurer. Four times a year, the ERFC adopts a bipartisan revenue forecast that is then used to build the state operating budget. It is also charged with providing the state budget outlook to increase transparency and to promote state government financial stability.

Tax Structure Work Group

I am a member of the Washington State Tax Structure Work Group (TSWG). The TSWG examines several issues to improve Washington’s tax structure. Through engaging taxpayers and policymakers, it will develop alternatives to our current tax structure to better uphold the principles of equity, adequacy, stability, and transparency. The TSWG will also consider how alternatives might affect the state’s economic vitality and how alternatives relate to neighboring states’ tax systems.
