Small businesses are the heartbeat of Pierce County. I stopped by Kimball Coffee - great coffee, great people, and exactly the kind of local business that makes our communities strong. But businesses like this are being squeezed by layered taxes, red tape, and regulations that make it harder to grow, hire, and succeed. Pierce County should be a place where small businesses can thrive - not fight government just to keep their doors open. We can do better. We will do better.

When I was at Harbor Holidays - Maritime Parade, I was overwhelmed by the positive support for our campaign! Everywhere I went, people were saying: “Thank you for running.” “Keep it up.” “How can we help?” That kind of encouragement means a lot and it tells me what I already believe: Pierce County is ready for reasonable solutions, stronger public safety, lower taxes, and leadership that listens. The momentum is real, and we’re just getting started!

Good news for Pierce County. After they tried to use unclear charter language to scrape me off the ballot, the Charter Review Commission is moving forward with new language that could let voters fix it. And when I asked Brenda Lykins why she called me a “MAGA extremist,” she apologized - because she knows it isn’t true. Pierce County deserves better than politics as usual.

They tried to scrape me off the ballot. Now, the Pierce County Charter Review Commission is looking at new language to make sure this kind of political gamesmanship doesn’t happen again. Four brave commissioners stepped up. The people showed up. And this fight may be headed to the ballot box. We’re not just running a campaign — we’re fighting back.

New 'Home Energy Score' in Thurston County could cost homeowners thousands in retrofits if they don't pass an energy audit at sale. This is government overreach onto your pocketbook. I'm running for office to fight this. #PierceCounty #GovernmentOverreach #HomeownerRights

Great to stop by Lucky Dog Pet Store in Old Town Gig Harbor - one of my favorite local spots. But seeing a Pierce County Sheriff’s patrol car was a reminder of a much bigger issue: Pierce County has the lowest number of deputies per capita in Washington state. That has to change. Public safety starts with staffing, support, and leadership that takes this seriously.

24 hours after launching my campaign, I'm already facing attacks. Being called a 'MAGA' extremist by Brenda Lykins. This shows how out of touch Bureaucrat Brenda really is. Save Pierce County's soul: solanforpierce.com #SolanForPierce #CommonSense #PierceCountyCouncil
