I am running for Senate in the 1st District because I want to continue to represent the people of the 1st District; Together we have made a difference. Over the past 12 years, through our efforts, UW Bothell/Cascadia CC was located in the Bothell area to serve the families in the north King and south Snohomish Counties. We put in place high academic standards with clear assessments (WASL) to measure our students & schools progress in helping all students meet the state standards. This is the accountability we needed in our public schools. We have been involved in economic development & transportation projects that serve both King and Snohomish County communities.
