Dear
Friends and Supporters:
We have just concluded a very challenging, and in many aspects
a very disappointing state legislative session. However, it was
also a session with several successes and hopes for the future.
I serve as the ranking republican member on the powerful State
House Appropriations Committee. I was disappointed to see the
democrats pass, and the Governor sign, the largest budget in
our state’s history. This budget increases state government
spending by over 17 percent. It is unsustainable, and was not
a good faith effort on behalf of the people.
Instead of being leaders and making the tough decisions, the
democrats played games with the budget process to avoid living
within the spending limits you the people established through
the initiative process.
The key to protecting your taxpayer dollars is to have someone
who will be a leader in Olympia. I want to be there to ensure
that there is a voice of reason and integrity in future State
budgets.
I am ready to return to the legislature
to lead an economic recovery to Southwest Washington and to
meet the challenges that lie ahead, hopefully from a majority
position. I need your fi nancial help today to continue to
represent the 20th Legislative District. It is important that
I solidify my campaign funding now so I can focus my attention
on
serving you.
I now serve as a part of the House republican leadership team
in the areas of budget, pensions, health care, and performance
auditing. This leadership will be critical to the success of
Thurston and Lewis counties, and the entire State, as we address
the issues of budgets, jobs, health care, pensions, transportation,
and regulatory reform next
year.
There were several successes in the recent session. I was a
leader and sponsored legislation to improve election efficiency
and accuracy. Our voice was important in passing legislation
for tougher penalties on sex offenders, supporting our children
in successfully passing the WASL, and ensuring that our senior
citizens have access to quality
long-term care facilities in their local communities. I was
very pleased to be honored one of the top three job-makers
in the House of Representatives by the Association of Washington
Business.
My legislative goals are unchanged: creating family-wage jobs
in our local communities, rebuilding a private health care
system that offers affordable choices, education reform, and
a sustainable state budget that is honest, based on the priorities
of government, and encourages good performance.
It is an honor to serve you in the legislature. Proper respect
and trust for being a leader in the State House of Representatives
comes with a strong commitment to making good public policy.
To reinforce this strength, I am asking for your fi nancial
support to help me launch a strong re-election campaign.
Thank you,
Gary Alexander
