Our State is facing some of the toughest challenges in its history.

Balancing the priorities of Education, Public Safety and building a strong economy to create jobs for our families is not easy.

We can’t delay the tough choices any longer. Borrowing money from our kids future and using accounting gimmicks to balance our budget won’t work.

We need a healthier business environment to create quality jobs and for education to be funded first. We can do this and still spend within our means. And it has to be done in a way thats fair for all.

Please join me in making Washington a better place to live and work.

Mark.
