Steve’s Priorities
He’s a leader we know. A leader we can trust.
Anyone can make excuses. Steve Kirby makes a difference. Some politicians get elected, go to Olympia, vote against everything and then blame everyone else for not getting things done. Not Steve Kirby. He’s a different kind of politician.
If you’re new to the 29th District, you’ll probably like his unique style. The people of Tacoma liked him enough to elect him to the city council four times before sending him to the State Legislature twelve years ago.
He’s smart and he works hard. His irrepressible sense of humor is legendary, but in the blink of an eye he can become a serious problem for anyone who gets between him and what’s good for his district. He puts the needs of the people first. Not those of the special interests.
- He fought against unfair tax increases.
- He’s worked hard to expand opportunities to stimulate our economy and create new family wage jobs.
- He’s insisted on accountability in state government to ensure that our hard earned tax dollars are spent wisely.
- He’s focused on programs that matter to real people—affordable health care, job training and programs that provide our seniors with the services they need.
- He fights for your right to feel safe at home, at school, at work and in your neighborhood. He doesn’t just talk tough…he wants to get tough on criminals.
- He wants to give every student the best possible education at our public schools, colleges and universities. Because today’s economy runs on brainpower, not horsepower.
- He believes economic opportunity grows in a climate that’s friendly to both workers and businesses.
Let’s return a leader to Olympia who makes a difference…not excuses.
