41st District State Representative candidate, Michale Appleby, held a campaign kick off event at Top Gun Seafood Restaurant in Bellevue yesterday. Among Appleby’s supporters are a group of Chinese American parents. Appleby had a meet-and-greet meeting with some Chinese American parents in mid-May, and earned their supports. People like his views on education, fiscal responsibility, and transportation.
Michael Appleby passionately outlined issues that he campaigns for at the kick off event:
Education:
Appleby wants to see results from our unprecedented $8 billion investment in Education. In his own words “currently, the full benefits of this investment are not being realized, with non-optimal graduation rates and test scores.” Appleby wants to change it.
Fiscal Responsibility:
Appleby wants to stop government from spending Rainy Day Fund on sunny days. He opposes an income tax, a capital gains tax, and support a reduction in property taxes.
Transportation:
Appleby wants to easy traffic congestions. He wants an immediate halt to tolling on I-405 and stop tolling measures for South-405. He wants Sound Transit Board of Directors to be elected by the people. Appleby also supports recalculating car tab fees based on real values, not inflated ones.
