LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES:
Increasingly, state agencies are stifling our quality of life -- rather than sustaining it -- by arbitrarily enacting job-killing rules and regulations. We need to change that approach and ensure the state bureaucracy is accountable to citizens of Washington and elected officials. We must also keep taxes low and strengthen public schools to ensure students receive a quality education.
