Relevant commissions/offices held: Federal Way Public Schools director and in the Legislature I serve on the Education, Higher Education and State Government Committees.

What are the top 3 items you want the constituents of Federal Way to know about you? I want to make sure that kids have the same education opportunities I had to lift themselves up, no matter what their circumstances, to lead a happy, successful life. That starts with excellent public schools.

I want to make sure our tax system is more fair and that big corporations and Wall Street banks pay their share.

People describe me as no nonsense and no frills and that’s perfectly fine.
