Thank you for visiting my legislative website. Within these webpages, you will find my bio, news releases, videos, email updates, newsletters, 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 is 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.
