“As a fellow member of the Backcountry Horsemen of Washington, I have had a lot of opportunities to talk to and work with Jim. He has great appreciation of the outdoors, and has been very helpful on the issues that are important to the Backcountry Horsemen. I know he’s an honest, hardworking man who will listen to his constituents.”   

-Bob Brooke, BCHW Legislative Liaison, Graham

“Jim knows what people running small businesses like myself go through, and the issues we face trying to turn a profit every year. It’s good to know that he’s been fighting to ease the heavy regulations and taxes on us so we can provide jobs and income to local families.”

–Dave Harman, owner of Northstone Realty, Orting


“Check the record: Jim is one of the most pro-business legislators in Olympia. He’s not a career politician: He’s worked most of his life in the private sector, and I think that helps him see things from the small businessman’s perspective better.”

-Larry Schorno, agricultural businessman and auctioneer, Yelm

 “I appreciate Jim’s firmness against higher taxes and overspending. Government should have to operate like I do in my home and my business: within its means. I know Jim agrees, and his record shows it: not one time has he voted in favor of a new tax or tax increase, and he has always voted against irresponsible budget proposals. We need more people like him in Olympia. “

 -Rick Adams, owner of Elbe Mall and Sporting Goods
