It is great to have Olympia in my rear view mirror as we finally finished our budget
negotiations and closed the special session on Wednesday morning. We started
voting on Tuesday evening and worked all night and we are done. It will be a
welcome relief to get back on the tractor and begin spring work on the farm.

As I get to visit around the district, two issues continue to be on the voters’ minds.
The economy and the burdensome size of government are topics that seem to top
everyone’s list. The need for a business friendly environment so businesses can be
successful is paramount. That will lead to much more employment and economic
activity. The other issue that is prevalent would be that of overall size and scope of
government. Over the last 8 years there has been 30% growth. I pledge to the
voters of the 9th district that I will continue to support policies that will make
Washington business friendly and curtail government growth.

The campaign season is upon us now and I look forward to seeing you throughout
the summer leading up to the election. Please consider supporting my campaign for
re-election by voting for me and if you can your financial assistance is critically
needed.

It is a deep honor to serve the 9th district, and I thank you for your support and I
promise to continue the work we started.

Joe
