Stronger Families. Stronger Communities. Stronger Washington.
The newly redistricted 20th District includes a small portion of South Thurston County (West of Bucoda to Interstate 5); Lewis County East of Interstate 5 (including all of Centralia, Chehalis, and Napavine); Cowlitz County East of Interstate 5 (including all of Kalama and Woodland); and parts of Clark County (including all of La Center and Ridgefield) to the City of Vancouver.
To say the least, the 20th District is filled with amazing history and traditions and has a lot of economic potential if we create the right economic atmosphere. Together, let’s get Washington working again for our families and our businesses.
Issues Important to Our Community
How can we make it better?
Affordability
As your representative in the 20th Legislative District, I opposed the largest tax increase in Washington State history in 2025. In 2026, I opposed the unconstitutional, unpopular, and unnecessary income tax.
This is the wrong direction when Washington state already has among the highest gas, grocery, housing, childcare, and energy costs in the nation.
I continue to fight for better priorities, better investments, and relief from unnecessary and burdensome taxes.

Public Safety
Despite national reduction in crime, Washington still has among the highest crime rates in the country and continues to have the fewest number of law enforcement officers per capita in the nation.
During the 2025-26 sessions, I supported greater investments in law enforcement, stronger penalties for repeat offenders, more support for victims, and additional pathways for rehabilitation.
Legislative Democrats continued to choose criminals over victims.
I will continue to support efforts to deliver safer streets in the 2026 legislative session.

Real Results
I was able to pass numerous good policies that will help our communities. Here are some victories:
1. HB 1990 – protecting ratepayers and communities by authorizing utility companies to securitize infrastructure after catastrophic events.
2. HB 1039 – authorizing local governments and tribes to coordinate the extension of government services beyond city and urban growth areas to tribal land.
3. HB 1064 – eliminating this expiration of SYNC and enhancing intergovernmental coordination of infrastructure deployment.
