Eastern Washington Budget Requests

Eastern Washington Budget Requests (Internal)

I am firmly committed to advancing what is important to Eastern Washington.  When requesting specific budget projects, my process adheres to the gold standard  of  transparency and accountability.

When seeking budget items, I only submit projects that are a priority for the country and a worthwhile expenditure of taxpayer funds. Further, top priority is given to authorized projects.  I am against wasteful spending.  All the requests submmitted are done to the highest standards and meet one or more of the following goals: 

  • Keeping our communities and nation safe
  • Building upon a regional transportation infrastructure
  • Growing Eastern Washington’s agriculture and resource economy through increased resaerch investment
  • Developing a robust 21st Century workforce 
  • Increasing access to quality, affordable health care especially in rural areas

You can click on each of the categories above to see the funding requests that meet those goals.  I also look forward to hearing your thoughts about these projects.  Send me your thoughts.
