the end of the “Hollywood” bank robbery spree, the 1998 Aurora bus crash, the World Trade Organization (WTO) riots, the Kingdome implosion, the Nisqually earthquake, and many others. ​Brett progressed through SPD’s ranks from officer to lieutenant, spending most of his career in patrol.  Brett's career included: a Detective Sergeant in the Domestic Violence and Elder Crimes Unit; Serving in SPD’s Office of Professional (now Police) Accountability; and assisting oversight of the SPD’s Audit, Policy and Research Section during a crucial period following a settlement agreement with the US Department of Justice.

Brad retired from the Washington State Guard on Jan. 31, 2022. He served as a helicopter pilot and held the rank of commander. He had the privilege of transporting a United States Vice President, and two Haitian presidents, during his career.

He believes the key to getting Washington back on the road to economic recovery is to get government out of the way to allow people and businesses to grow and prosper. That means reducing unnecessary regulations and helping foster the full potential of businesses and individuals to be successful.

Brad continues to work tirelessly across party lines to ensure justice is fairly and equally applied. He serves on the Joint Committee on Veterans' and Military Affairs; School Safety Summit; and the Work Group on Natural Disaster and Resiliency Activities.

the Legislature and community including The ARC of Washington state, the National Federation of Independent Business, the Association of Washington Business, and the Washington Food Industry Association. He received honors from the United States Army for military excellence and the Pierce County Sheriff's Department for heroic efforts.

Brad and his wife, Kim, reside in Kennewick and have two daughters and a son.

Many of our public school curriculums are teaching our children Marxist values, gender confusion and critical race theory. Our public education has no business influencing our children in these matters. Parents need to have full agency to teach their own values and religious practices to their children. We need education that focuses on developing competitive skills, providing our kids with viable futures.

I will work to eliminate Marxist curriculums in our public education systems. I will push for a voucher system, that includes charter schools, to give parents more freedom in their child's education.

America First does not mean we will not help others anymore. It simply means we take care of our people before taking on the world’s problems. We don’t need to be the world’s police or fund the worlds needs while we still have homeless in the streets, veterans neglected, hungry children and poor education standards. We simply need to take care of American’s first and when America is strong and safe, we can extend our arms to those in need elsewhere. In the guise of the need to change our energy dependencies, this current administration has been shutting down oil production and processing in our country. The actual impact of these orders has already resulted in job and industry losses as well as a massive fuel cost increase.

In addition to causing undo suffering upon Americans, this radical policy change is creating a deepening dependency on our resource needs from hostile nations. This leaves us vulnerable to involvement in foreign wars.

Until we have developed and produced alternatives to meet the needs of the American people, we must wisely continue to access our own oil supplies. I will always support American dependency upon her own resources!In the guise of the need to change our energy dependencies, this current administration has been shutting down oil production and processing in our country.

Our government causes a lack of financial freedom, resulting in us relying on their programs because they take more money than necessary from our hardworking citizens. This increases government spending. We also outsource an excessive amount of our labor and industry. Countless well-managed companies end up moving away due to the heavy tax burdens currently placed on businesses. This costs us our jobs, industries and resource independence. In turn, we suffer from a lack of skilled workers from high labor costs.

Instead of bailing out large corporations who make poor management decisions, I favor lowering federal taxes for small companies and creating more funding for business development incentives that keep our industries here. I also support reducing tax burdens on our citizens while using tariffs to help fund what is needed to run our governmental agencies, services and programs. Tariffs will assist us in creating industry and jobs in America as we rely more on our own resources and production. I will create incentives for states to develop their own competitive regionally valid trades programs in our High Schools and Post-Secondary settings

Our country was founded on the Judeo-Christian understanding that we were all created with the inherent freedom to be able to serve and worship our God in a way that is defined by our individual cultures. The role of the family is to replicate value systems that define and support morality and therefore support moral behavior in a society as a whole.

The Marxist agenda is being used to undermine the credibility of the family establishment by introducing establishments that deviate from the core values of all cultures. These alternate value systems turn children's hearts from the ways of their parents. Once the family’s moral system is broken down, it creates room for a new religious order that is established by the “state”.

I will support policies that allow families the freedom to practice their own value systems, and defund programs that undermine individual family values.

In this past decade, we have had an explosive increase in citizens not being able to acquire appropriate housing. Government agencies have tried to step in with affordable housing projects, needle programs or encampments. None of these projects have proven successful so far.

On the other hand, Faith based drug and alcohol counseling, mental health programs, skills development, and affordable housing efforts have shown to have high success rates for helping individuals overcome what stands in the way of them and a viable livelihood.

In addition to incentives for reducing property taxes in Washington State and holding some medical professionals accountable for their opioid trade, I will support programs that are run by local faith-based communities who have proven to be better equipped plus more successful in assisting individual needs.

Many policy makers in DC want to take or limit our right to bear arms. The Second Amendment was put in place to assure that our government upholds our constitutional freedoms. If we are unarmed we cannot defend our families against foreign or domestic terrorists. I will support responsible firearm handling training programs for citizens and vote NO to any infringements on American access to firearms, firearm components and ammunition.

We have too many career politicians who use their positions in order to serve their own interests. Instead of casting their votes in favor of the American people, they are lining their pockets with lobbyist dollars while pushing their own agendas. We need “every day citizens” to represent us - those who know what it is like to live in our country and are in office for a short time only as a civil service.

In order to avoid the self-serving law maker, I will work to establish TERM LIMITS in our House and Senate!

I, along with other America First candidates, have signed a pledge to commit to 3 terms in Congress and 2 terms in the Senate. Once in office, we can push this initiative forward and pass term limits into law!
