It has been a pleasure and honor to
serve my friends and neighbors as the
7th District Representative for the past
6 years.

I find that my number one job in
Olympia is to educate my colleagues
from the coast what it means to live on
the land.

My goal is to protect our way of life
while working to improve our
economy.

After each session in Olympia, I love
coming home to my wife and son and
our ranch on top of Bodie Mountain.

Well, the 2010 election year is over. I want to thank everyone who supported me this past
year. Without you, I could not do what I do in Olympia.

This past year, I had the honor of being elected once again as the deputy leader for the
House Republicans. Serving in leadership has given me the opportunity to help shape (or
defeat) the bills that are introduced. It has also given me more leverage to fight for the issues
that are important to our district.

Please take a little time and look around my web page. If you have any questions, don't
hesitate to contact me. Again, it has been an honor and pleasure to serve my friends in
Northeast Washington.

Joel has re-assumed the tasks and
duties of his role as deputy leader for the
House Republicans.

All House Republican leadership
positions are chosen at a special meeting
prior to the legislative session by a secret
ballot of House Republican members.
