Eight years ago, you elected me to serve you in the Washington State House of Representatives. I am proud of what I have accomplished in my first four terms, and I hope you will help return me to the House for a new term starting in 2009.

I have progressed in the leadership of the House Democratic Caucus, elected by my peers as its Vice-Chair in 2005. In addition to committee work, I serve as the Chair of the Caseload Forecast Council.  I recently was named Vice-Chair of the new Subcommittee of Appropriations on Health and Human Services.  While I have enjoyed a successful career representing both my district and progressive causes, there is much left to do, and I’m looking forward to the challenges.

I have received significant support for helping low-income working families and helped to launch the Pierce County Asset Building Coalition. In less than a year, over fifty organizations came together to implement programs to increase the wealth of low-income working families. That’s good for our local economy, and especially for the families and their children.  Now we're the model for the rest of the country and lead the asset building movement!

I am deeply grateful to my supportive family and the voters of the 27th District for this opportunity to serve in the Legislature. I have lived, worked, and volunteered in the 27th District for nearly 30 years, and it is a unique privilege to serve my neighbors as one of their State Representatives.

If you have questions, concerns, or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks for visiting my first website. In the months ahead, please check back for campaign updates.  If you're interested in signing on as a campaign volunteer, please follow the link to do so.   Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
