Thank you to all the family, friends, community leaders, and supporters from across Tacoma who attended our campaign kick-off on Monday night! Head over to our Facebook page -- here -- to view pictures from the event.

It was an honor to kick off my campaign for State Representative to a packed room, which is a great sign of the broad, vibrant support we have going into this campaign.

I would especially like to thank Kurt Miller, Ryan Mello and Lua Pritchard for their very kind words, as well as my host committee for helping to make the event such a great success.

With their support and yours, I am enthusiastic and ready to begin the hard work needed to win this campaign. I will be working hard every day speaking with voters and raising the resources needed to take my message of building bridges for a better Tacoma and Washington State to the Legislature.

If you were not able to attend last night, I hope you will take a moment and pledge your support to the campaign now and keep our momentum going.
