Welcome to the 2010 Campaign!

Ballots received, signs going up ... King County voters guide showed up yesterday!  And you should have received my mailer.  

I am so grateful for the support and encouragement of friends, family, colleagues and civic groups here on the Eastside.  I received early endorsements from the King County Conservation Voters, the Seattle King County REALTORS^(R) and the National Women's Political Caucus of Washington State, among others, for prior work. But I'm not focusing on endorsements this year, as helpful as those might be. 

I'm trying to put links and commentary up on a Twitter feed appearing on the right hand side of this page to help illustrate my positions and actions over the last four years, what it means to be a moderate, business-friendly eastside Democratic representative.   Just click through on the link for more information.

Further, there are still wrinkles in transportation, with the SR520 project needing constant attention.  I'm excited about the launch of Nissan's LEAF EV here (I sponsored a sleeper bill a couple of years ago, ensuring that there would be a uniform regulatory platform for these vehicles), which is both a good environmental and a good economic move for us.

And, of course, I'm spending a lot of time thinking about exactly what mix of budget actions will get us through the 2011-2013 biennium.  Reform topics that stalled out for lack of support last year may become more popular in January, when we are faced with yet another round of tough decisions.  I was an insistent advocate for real reform last session, and I will be again, if re-elected.
