"To have the opportunity to serve a community and country is a tradition that I have been fortunate to be part of. The care started with the early pioneers and developed from a small town to a major industrial area. Farmers of the City of Kent, where my great grandparents settled, became involved in service and ambition with all families to maintain a path of ongoing stewardship within the Kent Valley. There was much work to be done then in order to bring the continuous bounty during the agricultural period for the people. The land uses changed with the coming generations and demand for new industry like Boeing resulted in the need for flood control and the construction of the Howard Hanson Dam at the head waters of the Green River. The actions with the construction of flood control redefined the make and value of the land within the entire region. I am inspired by the hard work and tenacity of so many that have called this place their home and frontier beyond the small town. Today, I call this fine place my home and I too declare that there is much work to be done."
LIST OF ISSUES
ENVIRONMENT
Sustainability is a word most commonly used when we are focused on environmental issues in America. Being a steward of our land and open space is part of being a well connected owner of property. We are the leader in consumption and we are leaders of recycling programs that teach the community many important understandings into smart uses of materials. New industries have evolved as a result of the advancement of recycling and we can highlight the advancement in plastic lumber products that have come out of the plastic bottle recycle programs. I will offer incentives to promote success in recycling from the little stepe we take as responsible citizens so we can all know what it is like to do right in smart recycling..

END TERROR AND REVAMP HOMELAND SECURITY
We have heard the term "tough on terror" this was a strong term during the fight following 911 against al- Qaeda and its move to strengthen sharia and lead a global jihad to build the caliphate in Iraq. Today, we are faced with less of a threat from al -Qaeda but now we are faced with al-shabaab and the ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). In both terror organizations the common thread is to inflict fear in all Christians or anyone that does not prescribe to its sharia law and dysfunction.
I will ensure that our national defense has trained the best and brightest to lead missions to remove these threats and keep our missions covert as they were meant to be. Cell phone technology is a real threat as the digital interception devices have become so easy to get by most anyone.
Currently, the Department of Homeland Security has a serious problem with the state of controlling funding by the terror organizations. There are known terror training organizations in the United States and the police departments cannot shut them down without probable cause. The risks of letting the problems resolve on there own has proven to be flaws in reasoning and the consequences have proven fatal against our own citizens.
I will shut off the conduit of funding from sources like the marijuana grow homes that are the potential and likely current source for funding these terror groups. Washigton state and Colorado have a great threat for future terror incidents based with the business models that are using single family homes to grow marijuana. The homes provide an ideal environment for controlling temperature and unhindered harvest cycles. The home owners usually live in another city and use the grow home exclusively for marijuana production. The grow home is undetected due to the theft of power as the power meters are bypassed. All revenue is tax free and undetected.
