My Priorities

JOBS. Unemployment in Clark County is the highest in the State of Washington at 13%. Every candidate claims to be for more jobs, the difference is the belief on what creates more jobs. I will fight for an environment that draws in more businesses, and creates an environment that encourages businesses to bring there companies jobs here.

EDUCATION. This is not just my top priority, its the top priority of the Washington State Constitutions and I believe that boundaries to this fact need to re-established. Educating our children is a concern and a hope of each family in Washington and you have an advocate in Paul Harris.

ENERGY. The cost of energy to is directly connected to a businesses choosing our state for its business, or another that is more competitive. By focusing on low cost energy we bring jobs to our state, and lower bills to each family during these tough times.

PROTECTING MOST VULNERABLE. When elected by the community to a leadership position, one of the greatest responsibilities is protect the weakest and most vulnerable citizens. As State Representative in the 17th District, I take this duty of serving those in most need as among my top priorities.

Rep. Paul Harris 17th District (R)

Paul Harris

Welcome to my Web site! Here you will find information about our district, the legislation that I have sponsored and co-sponsored, news releases, video updates, and much more. I have spent a lot of time with citizens around the district in the last year. They were clear in their message. Businesses and families in Washington cannot survive any more taxation and unsustainable budgets coming out of Olympia. We need to make sure people have jobs, keep our tax rates low, show fiscal responsibility with the state budget, allow businesses to be productive without fighting excessive regulations and provide a quality education for our children. Throughout the session, I encourage you to keep in touch whenever you have questions, comments or an idea to share. Please call, email me, or send a letter. My door is always open, and I appreciate hearing from people in the 17th District. I am grateful and honored the people of our district have sent me to Olympia as their state representative.
