"During his work for the monorail board, he showed he genuinely cares about the taxpayer."

Bringing Common Sense to the Assessor’s Office

Dear Friends,

Most of you know me as the man who helped close a wasteful government agency when I ran and was elected to the Seattle Monorail Project. I am running for King County Assessor with the same drive to clean up the office and make it transparent, fair and honest. No taxpayer should have to pay more than their fair share.

If elected, I will take no contribution from anyone in my office. I believe this office should not be politicized and all employees should be treated with the utmost respect and equity. Thank you for your support and I look forward to meeting you on the campaign trail!

Best,
Jim
