Mark Ericks, State Representative, District 1, Position 2

Oversaw construction of a new public safety facility, completing it on time and under budget
Made our children safer by putting police officers in our schools
Consistently balanced the department's budget
As current Administrative Services Director of Bothell Mark has, again, consistently balanced the budget.

I've always treated our community like family.
As your State Representative, I will work to:

Direct more money to the classrooms of our public schools

Mark recognizes the importance of a STRONG PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. As our voice at the state capitol, he'll make certain that our hard earned tax dollars get to where they belong - our local classrooms - not the educational bureaucracy.

Provide economic incentives to small business to keep jobs in our area

Working for economic development programs and targeted tax incentives that will help businesses expand and create new, family wage jobs here in our community. To enable small businesses to pool resources and provide employees with the care every family needs and deserves.

Make health care more affordable

No child should be denied access to health care. No senior should be forced to decide between heating their home, or buying prescription drugs. Mark will work for a health care system we can be proud of.
