Work with Gary for More Community, Less Olympia

Centralizing power in Olympia is good for the politicians and good for the large organizations that support them, but it has been very bad for our local community.

• Olympia has increased our taxes 84% in the last ten year while delivery fewer and fewer services.
• Olympia has slashed state portion of financial support for our communities in half.
• Olympia has taken control of our schools away from our local parents, teachers, and principals.
• Olympia has imposed growth management, creating high-density monstrosities, culminating in Point Wells.
• Olympia has  removed traffic congestion relief from the priorities of the DOT, lengthening our commute.
• Olympia has  tolled the 520 bridge, which will drive traffic around the lake through our north-end neighborhoods.

My wife, Rebecca, and I have lived in the same house in Shoreline since we were married over 25 years ago.
