Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
As your current elected State Treasurer, taking stances on policy issues that might have a fiscal impact would hinder my role at the executive level. While I, of course, have my own opinions and beliefs, to do my job effectively and have total transparency, which is something I strive for every day. I must refrain from answering these questions as they would have fiscal impacts, my position is not a policy-making one but an elected administrative one mandated to carry out state law. I thank everyone for taking the time to educate themselves on candidates running for office and encourage you to visit my website at: DavidsonforWa.com to learn more about me and my accomplishments.
