Friends,

It is my humble honor to represent Southwest Washington in the "other" Washington. My job is to take your voice to Congress and solve problems on your behalf. The biggest challenge facing our region is our need for jobs. By empowering job-creating small businesses, and reducing the crushing burden of our national debt, we can address this challenge. I have been working hard to advance these goals.

Together, we can spread the message that job creation and stopping the out-of-control federal spending are key to our region's success. I need your help. Would you like to send a letter to the editor? Write to the Columbian here www.columbian.com/lettertotheeditor/, the Longview Daily News here tdn.com/news/opinion/mailbag/ and the Olympian here www.theolympian.com/letters/#lteanchor

Thank you for your ideas, energy and support.

Sincerely,
