Biviano will stay focused

We have an opportunity to send a person, Amy Biviano, to Olympia this year who will take her expertise as a certified public accountant in work with small businesses and individuals in financial planning to work on tax reform.

Her opponent, who has had four ineffective years in Olympia, refuses to reach across party lines to deliver for the people of the 4th Legislative District.

Matt Shea would rather spend more time fighting against the U.S. Constitution about state sovereignty than helping build and shape a better future for his 4th District constituents. Amy will reach across the aisle and will work on our state budget as well as work to reduce domestic violence, strengthen our families and support and improve our public schools.

Amy has walked and biked to tens of thousands of doors eliciting the concerns of the citizens of the 4th District. Join me in electing a person who will truly represent the entire 4th District.
