To all of my supporters,
I want to thank all of you who voted for me and supported me. I also want to thank all of the volunteers who contributed countless hours to this campaign. I can’t thank you all enough. Most of all, I thank my wife Rebecca for standing by my side. My volunteers and I worked tirelessly running a clean campaign focused on the issues.
I will continue to be involved in our community and encourage fiscal responsibility from our state government.
Thank you, Joseph James
Joseph James will work to create new jobs, stop tax increases, and make healthcare affordable.
Hi, my name is Joseph James and I am humbly asking for your vote. I'm in this race for several reasons: 1. To improve our economy and create new jobs 2. To stop all tax increases and provide tax relief 3. To make healthcare more affordable to everyone
I am honored to have the endorsement of the Faith and Freedom Political Action Committee. This is a statewide non-partisan based coalition made up of Independents, Democrats, and Republicans who promote Judeo-Christian values. Worshiping with others every Sunday has taught me that serving others and working to improve our community breaks down partisan barriers.
Like many of you I am tired of the negative divisive politics that prevents us from accomplishing goals and working together. I am grateful to have the support of people from all walks of life, who also oppose criticizing others and attacking each other. If I am elected to Olympia you can count on me to focus on solutions rather than point the finger at other people’s short comings or problems.
Joseph James with pet Ozzy. Joseph is a dog trainer.
Previous to announcing my candidacy I was an appointed representative to the Shriner’s Hospital for Children. I am also a dog trainer and understand the role dogs fill in our community. Meeting crippled children and their families taught me about problems with our health care system. This also allowed me to talk with others about solutions to our health care system that I will work to implement if I am elected to the legislature. I will work to make sure all of us can get the coverage we need, especially our children.
I am one of the many candidates along with many elected officials statewide to sign in writing a No New Tax Pledge. Because of this, you can count on me Not to raise your taxes. This is not an empty promise, as I have pledged this to you in writing.
I live in Vancouver with my beautiful wife Rebecca. We look forward to raising our child in this wonderful community.
I am Joseph James, and if you feel as I do that we need to eliminate the tax and spend mentality prevalent in the legislature, work to bring more jobs here to our community, and bring affordable health care solutions to our community then please vote for me.
There is also a cell phone number on this website that will be on the entire time that I am in Olympia so you will be able to contact me directly to talk about proposed bills or any community problem that needs to be addressed through the legislature.
