Due to lack of vision its time for change, change filled with critical thinking and new ideas to move Washington forward. Where others see dead ends I see opportunities such as joining education with business and industry to a**ist in training our young adults for the journey in to adulthood and closing the education, earnings, and racial gaps so that all in Washington can rise together and soften the burden on the tax payers who work so hard to get ahead. Grid continues to plague our roadways, poor management and cost overruns impacting our economy and productivity, it is time to take control and turn that around. Tax payers deserve better representation! As Lt. Governor you can be a**ured that I will remain accessible and respectful and work hard every day to bring good ideas, transparency, accountability, and common sense to state government. The time is now to take action and take advantage of the opportunities that are in front of us. You deserve so much more from government, through me you will take charge.
