How many of us feel good about our country?  Do we feel confident about the economy?    What kind of future will our children face?   This is an important  time for America.  We must reverse the 8 years of damage of the Bush Administration.  We can’t risk having one single Democrat being distracted from the critical work ahead to set  our country and state back on the right path.  

Let me be the first to thank Jim McDermott for his many years of service to Washington State.  Unfortunately, for approximately the last decade, Jim’s attention has been diverted from his home state, from the needs of the residents of the 7th Congressional District, and focused instead on his lengthy legal battle.   He will continue to focus on this issue as he attempts to retire his legal debts of over $1 million dollars.  

We cannot afford to send an incumbent back to Washington, D.C. who is not 100% focused on his job of working for the people of Washington State.  

As our economy weakens, we face food and fuel shortages, and deal with rising costs and unemployment rates, we need representatives in Congress that will work collectively to turn this country and economy around.  

The needs of Washington State and the residents in the 7th Congressional District are not being addressed by our current Congressman.   I vow to work tirelessly as your public servant in Congress, focusing only on your needs.
