Additional comment from candidate:

I have the most experience with the core issues such as: Economy, education and agriculture. I have 4 businesses and have never drawn a government paycheck. I know the education issues such as the McClary act and levy equalization. I am currently the Prosser School Board President. Agriculture is extremely important in our District. I am a winery owner and have been in contact with growers about their issues. Water is always mentioned as a primary concern. I will work hard to legislate this issue. I am the founding Chairman of the Prosser Boys and girls club and have led organizations such as Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce.
