Statement:  A 40 year small business owner, former Kirkland Mayor and teacher, Larry Springer is a straight talking, independent voice for our families and communities.  Larry demanded a responsible, balanced budget that significantly increased K12 education funding.  Larry worked to reform Washington's tax system to increase government efficiency and ease the burden on Washington families and small businesses.  

Larry always places results above partisan politics, especially government transparency and accountability.  He is committed to assuring our communities and schools are safe from gun violence, increased funding for colleges and universities, and increasing housing affordability.  Re-Elect Larry Springer.  Thank you.
