Families Come First

As a father of four, Travis knows what it is like to work through the challenges of getting kids educated, he knows what it’s like to spend a fortune at the grocery store or the gas pump, and he knows what it’s like to worry about our kids’ future in these times. 

Travis understands that just like his family comes first, all of our families come first, and are the most important thing in our lives. He understands the struggles and triumphs of parenthood, and how demanding life can be when you have others to put before yourself. 

Travis will bring this understanding to Olympia with all 35th district families in mind. He believes that by putting 35th District and Washington State families first, we will all be better off.
