Welcome to our campaign website

I'm running for King County Council in the 6th District because our district needs leadership we can trust. I believe we must elect public servants with integrity and a record of service to our community. We need someone who will roll up their sleeves to get the job done and fix problems. That's what I have been doing my whole life.

I invite you to learn more about my campaign. I would be honored to have your support!

Sincerely,
Richard
