"We need a leader we can depend on to put people back to work and refocus Olympia on the basics. Sandy Guinn doesn't make empty promises ... she gets the job done."

IT'S TIME OLYMPIA HEARD YOUR VOICE!
Growing up in Snohomish county in a family that depended on Boeing, I know what it's like to be a child with an unemployed parent. Too often, instead of making things just a little easier, state government has made it much worse - with higher taxes and regulations that kill jobs.
EXPERIENCE...
As Bothell's Deputy Mayor, I made families our first priority. I held property tax increases to ZERO, cut utility taxes, and led the fight for a new development plan that will create up to 8,400 jobs.
City portion of property taxes in 1998 - $1.99
City portion of property taxes in 2008 - $1.21
DETERMINED...
Making government work isn't hard - if you focus on the basics. As your State Representative, I'll fight to make education a priority, reduce the burden on hardworking taxpayers and small business, and protect our environment.
LEADERSHIP...
Saying "yes" is easy, but it takes a leader to say "no". For too long, Olympia just said "yes" to higher taxes and bigger government. With your vote, we'll take government back and make our state great again.
