"We should never despair, our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new exertions and proportion our efforts to the exigency of the times." --George Washington, letter to Philip Schuyler, 1777
Good morning all! It was a long, disappointing night for a lot of people, but the sun is rising on another promising day. For me, last night marked the end of a long, difficult campaign cycle. I am proud to have received almost 64% of the vote and thank all my supporters for their help this year. I am blessed to have the opportunity to represent the 15th District in Olympia and simply want to say"thank you” to everyone for their support. Now the real work begins.
I also want to congratulate Matt Shea and Jason Overstreet on their victories last night. The voters in the 4th and 42nd Districts are lucky to have two great, principled men representing them in Olympia. I’ve spent quite a bit of time with these men and their families and am proud to call them friends. If you haven’t met Matt or Jason, friend them on Facebook … you won’t be disappointed.
As we watch the returns continue to come in over the next few days, the outcome of a few races could change. We’re watching Dan Griffey’s race (35th) very closely and hope that he can pull out victory in the coming days. It doesn’t appear the composition of the State House of Representatives is going to change all that much … maybe gain a couple of seats … and that is not good news for Washington State taxpayers.
Folks, the real work begins now!
