Small Business Owners

Supporting Small Businesses for a Thriving Community

As the owner of small businesses here in our community, I understand firsthand the challenges business owners face trying to keep their doors open, support employees, serve customers, and navigate rising costs, taxes, regulations, and economic uncertainty.

I stand with small business owners because they are the backbone of our local economy and our communities. They create jobs, mentor young workers, support local causes, and take personal risks to build something meaningful. I believe government should support opportunity, encourage responsible growth, and reduce unnecessary barriers that make it harder for hardworking people to succeed. I know what it means to meet payroll, manage uncertainty, and continue showing up every day, and I will bring that real-world perspective to Olympia.
