Trees are bending, leaves are flying, election season is ending. I appreciate everyone who stepped up to help our campaign.

We focused on public safety and public service and had a good time. At our last event of the ’18 season at the Swiss in Tacoma, I played “Wild Thing” and “Twist and Shout” with our unofficial campaign band, The Beatniks. I proved, once again, I’m a better writer and prosecutor than I am guitar player.

John F. Kennedy said, “If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place to live.”

Whether you’re an artist or not, we need more humanity in our politics. Time to step up. #Vote.

And thanks for reading.

Keep our community safe, keep our prosecutor.

That’s what good people in Pierce County are saying this year. I’m a career Prosecutor going into my tenth year. Time does fly. I’ve been appointed, elected, and re-elected. Now I’m running again to keep serving.

Our public safety successes have been remarkable — protecting elders, reducing gang violence and other crime, diversion programs for those with mental health issues or drug addiction, and our new lawsuit I filed against Big Pharma to hold them accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic.
