I took that oath 40 years ago There is no End date to that oath, I served in Desert Storm in 1991 and two more times in Iraq in 2004-05 and 2008-09 Believing it was in our Nations interest, and in 26 years in the Active duty and WAARNG, I re-took that solemn oath an additional 8 more times

I Love this country, I believe in its greatness and I will never back down defending her. I am Proud to say “I am an American Veteran!”

I spent 17 years working at YTC, as a Army Federal Technician, and as Union President 8 of those years

Candidate for 15h District Position 2

I am in this race because I feel that is is critical we wrestle back control from the Liberal Democrats. There control in Washington, has and will continue to do damage to the Economy in Washington state, but has and will continue to erode our freedoms. Do you want a Government that will dictate what you drive, how you mow your lawn or cook your food, or what “Sensible” gun we can carry? WE MUST reestablish and defend our 2nd Amendments rights. While we still have them. I have been in Leadership most of my adult life. While in the Army, at YTC, In Non-profits, to my everyday life. I feel I can delver the Leadership lacking in Olympia

Words to live by, from the first president to inspire me.
“Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding
to protect us from ourselves” Ronald Regan

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
