In this section, we are seeking responses that reflect the four ratings criteria: involvement, effectiveness, character, and knowledge. These are defined as follows:
1. In a page or less, why are you running for this office? (Note: the interview committee will be given a copy of this statement before your interview; at the beginning of your interview you will have the opportunity to expand on this statement in any way you wish.)
|
I am running for State House because I want to be the voice for the people of this district on the issues that matter to us. For the last six years, some very important issues have taken a backseat on the agenda of the current incumbent. Working to create jobs, promoting our public schools, and improving our health care system are all issues that people are talking about, but the solutions have been elusive in Olympia. Throughout this campaign, I have committed myself to work on the issues that matter to our community. I know we can do better in Olympia. |
2. Describe your most important personal characteristics or traits as they relate to the office you seek.
|
The most important personal characteristic I will bring to this office is the ability to look past partisan affiliation, listen to the concerns of all stakeholders, build coalitions, and solve problems. Although our system provides for two separate political parties, I have found that many of our state's problems are not partisan issues. Our children's education, for example, should not be a partisan matter. There are real problems with the WASL, with charter schools, and with teacher pay that we are all talking about. We need to stop talking and sit down and solve the problems. Continuing partisan bickering on these issues only serves to further hurt the well-being of our public schools. This is why I have been endorsed by the Washington Education Association. Although they have typically supported Democrats in the past, I am glad to have earned their endorsement through my willingness to work with both sides and do what's right for our teachers and our students.

3. Please describe in sufficient detail, one to three accomplishments or contributions of which you are most proud. These examples should illustrate effective skills and capabilities you think apply to the office you are seeking. These accomplishments may have occurred at any time in your personal, professional, or public life.
4. Please list or describe your current and past activities in the community in which you have acquired skills that relate to the office you seek. Include your role in the activity and the year(s) in which you were involved. Involvement consists of many areas such as family, neighborhood, community, employment, or public life.

The primary duty of the office I seek is to enact the will of the people in my district. This is primarily accomplished by enacting legislation in Olympia, but also in ensuring that the people remain well-informed of pending issues before the Legislature. If elected, I have pledged to continue knocking on doors after each session to bring the business of the state to the doorstep of my constituents.
Public service is a distinct honor. My job will be to provide a vision, implement legislation, and provide solutions at the state level for the problems we're facing in our homes, schools, churches, and jobs. The all-encompassing duty of the office is to work to improve the quality of life for my constituents. |
