On Crime:
Co-sponsored Thin Blue Line Act to punish cop killers
In Congress, I helped champion the bipartisan "Blue Alert" bill that was signed into law to create a national alert system to make officers aware of threats against them as quickly as possible. I also co-sponsored the "Thin
Blue Line Act" to crack down on cop killers by making the murder or attempted murder of a police officer an "aggravating" factor in death penalty determinations.

Chaired Trade Subcommittee; championed free-trade agreements
He would later become a senior member of the most powerful panel in Congress -- the Ways & Means Committee -- where he worked to keep taxes low as chairman of the Tax Subcommittee, helped improve our nation's foster care
system as chair of the Human Resources Subcommittee, and became chairman of the Trade Subcommittee where he championed free-trade agreements critical to over 248,000 jobs in Washington State.

On Government Reform:
Lower taxes and reduce regulations to grow economy
Creating jobs and growing the economy is a must for our State to thrive and prosper. That requires policies that lower your taxes,
reduce regulations, and that help small businesses grow and create good-paying jobs.

On Government Reform:
Make state government open, responsive, and inclusive
Government is there to serve, and listen to, the people. Yet our state government today only seems interested in serving themselves and listening to no one but themselves.
I'm running to make state government what it should be -- open, responsive, and inclusive -- where the power is wielded by you, the citizens.

On Budget & Economy:
Focus on lowering gas prices and property taxes
We currently compete with California for having the highest gas prices in the nation. Health insurance and property taxes are through the roof. And the cost of food, driven by inflation, is putting a squeeze on people who simply can't afford it.
This is punishing families, hurting small businesses, and forcing countless numbers of citizens to leave our state. All the people are asking for is just a little relief and reprieve.
Unfortunately, many in
Olympia continue to push policies that punish people at the pump, crush consumers at the store, and burden families with bills they simply can't pay.
As Governor, we will work together to change all this and make our state an affordable place to work and live.
