My Priorities

Building Washington’s innovation economy

Washington has the talent, research strength, and economic foundation to lead in the next generation of innovation, but that leadership is not guaranteed. We need a stronger, more coordinated strategy to help emerging industries grow, attract investment, and keep family-wage jobs in our state. From advanced computing and quantum technology to energy innovation, aerospace, agriculture, and manufacturing, I am focused on policies that help Washington compete, retain talent, and build the economy of the future.

Strengthening Washington’s innovation economy

Growing clean energy jobs

The Tri-Cities region is uniquely positioned to help lead the future of clean energy manufacturing, including advanced nuclear technology. To make that possible, Washington must remove unnecessary barriers, align state policy with real-world project timelines, and create a more competitive environment for investment and job creation. My work in this area is focused on supporting clean energy development, expanding family-wage jobs, and ensuring our region remains a leader in innovation, manufacturing, and energy reliability.
