washington state. our story already reflects optimism and strength. but as washington's leaders, we carry an obligation to never be satisfied with how far we've come. this was embodied in what bruce lee, the washington actor, philosopher and martial artist said there are no limits. there are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. he was right. our state history offers example after example of leaders willing to do more and to be more, even after they toppled barriers and shattered expectations. did bill gates and paul allen stop after forever changing the world of personal computing? no. they kept asking what if? and not only built on the landscape of the technological world, but delved deep into science, medical research and culture and redefined what giving back means. did steve gleason, one of the best cougars out there, stop after he blocked that punt during the famous 2006 new orleans saints game? no. congress just awarded steve the congressional gold medal for his ad

with that experience is a lot to offer in washington. from the perspective of a local city leader as to the fact that washington hasn't been a good partner to local government when it comes to infrastructure investments in our country is falling further behin behind the nation and we need to get back to being a leader that is an important issue. as a representative of the southwestern border state, i believe that competence of immigration reform is really important. no community in the countr couny would better benefit economically from comprehensive immigration reform, bipartisan getting reform done them in our region plus when the president did pull us out of the paris accord cities like mine that said we are going to keep our commitment. the people of the country will look to the mayors for leadership and now that i'm in washington, the democrats are the majority and they will see a lot of positive action on the issue of climate change. in fact you will see a marriage between infrastructure investment and claim it's smart investment.
