Building a Stronger Washington
Leadership Rooted in Service. Solutions Focused on Families.
Washington is at a crossroads.
Families are working harder than ever, yet too many are struggling to keep up with rising taxes, higher housing costs, public safety concerns, and an education system that is falling short of preparing our children for the future.
I believe government should work for the people—not the other way around.
As a Marine Corps veteran, small business owner, community volunteer, and former Federal Way City Councilmember, I have spent my life solving problems, serving others, and bringing people together. I'm running for the Washington State House because I believe we can build a safer, more affordable, and more prosperous future for every family in the 30th Legislative District.
Together, we can build a stronger Washington.
Washington Families Deserve Better
Everywhere I go, I hear the same concerns.
These challenges aren't unique to one city or one political party. They affect all of us.
I'm running because I believe government should focus on practical solutions, responsible leadership, and creating opportunities for every Washington family to succeed.
Our state doesn't need more division.
It needs leaders willing to listen, learn, and make thoughtful decisions based on facts, accountability, and common sense.
Families are worried about the rising cost of living.
Neighborhoods want safer bus stops and streets.
Young adults & families wonder if they'll ever be able to afford a home.
Parents are concerned about their children's future.
Business owners are struggling with ever-increasing taxes and regulations.
Meet Paul
Before entering public office, I spent decades serving my community in other ways.
As a young entrepreneur, I built a technology consulting business from the ground up and learned firsthand what it takes to meet payroll, balance budgets, and adapt through economic uncertainty.
As a United States Marine Corps veteran, I learned that leadership begins with service, discipline, and responsibility.
As a community volunteer, youth mentor, and martial arts instructor, I've worked alongside families, students, and local organizations to help build stronger communities.
My appointment to the Federal Way City Council deepened my understanding of how government works—and where it can work better. It reinforced my belief that good policy starts with listening to the people we serve.
Public office isn't a career goal for me. It's another opportunity to serve.
Putting Washington Families First
Lower Taxes & Responsible Government
Washington families deserve a government that lives within its means.
I support reducing unnecessary tax burdens, increasing transparency, and making government more accountable to taxpayers.
Safe Communities
Every family deserves to feel safe at home, at work, and in their neighborhood.
I'll support law enforcement, improve public safety, and expand effective treatment options that address addiction and mental health while holding criminals accountable.
Strong Families
Healthy communities begin with strong families.
I believe government should strengthen—not replace—the family by supporting policies that promote stability, opportunity, and personal responsibility.
Housing & Jobs
Owning a home and earning a family-wage income should once again be realistic goals for hardworking residents.
I'll work to remove unnecessary barriers to housing and encourage economic growth through business-friendly policies.
Education
Parents are their children's first teachers and strongest advocates.
Every student deserves access to a quality education that prepares them for the workforce, skilled trades, military service, or college.
