Dan Griffey for State House the 35th District...

Hello My name is Dan Griffey. I am running for the State Legislature in the 35th District. You may have heard that I am a firefighter, a family man and a small business owner, what you may not know is why I am running for this office.

I have to say for some time now I have been concerned by what I see going on around us. We have high unemployment, high taxes and our neighbors are struggling to keep their heads above water. Times are tough and they have been getting tougher. That is why almost 58% of us in the district voted in Initiative 960. It was not meant to stop all taxes but it was meant to only pass new taxes with a 2/3 majority vote. That means that if the people really want it they can approve it and if they don't - it is a no go. After all our representatives Represent us ...the people.

Unfortunately this initiative of the people was overturned by some of our Legislators- Kathy Haigh being one of them. It was then that I knew we needed our voice back. Our votes had to start counting. We could not afford to wait a minute longer.

I agree with the Washington State Constitution, "All political power is inherent in the people". We should have more liberty, more freedom, more opportunities and more of our tax dollars in our pockets.

We can balance our budget by prioritizing funding for Education, Critical Infrastructure, Police and Fire/EMS. We can get Washington's people back to work- and the time is now.

If you agree, vote for Dan Griffey and have someone truly working for YOU in Olympia. Together... We can do better.
