STATE SENATOR Drew MacEwen On the Issues

Since his election to the State House in 2012, Sen. MacEwen has focused on a simple principle: government should live within its means, just like the families and businesses it serves. He will continue to fight for responsible budgeting that prioritizes essential services for Washingtonians, while cutting back on wasteful spending and unfunded mandates. Sen. MacEwen firmly believes that dollars are best spent by the people who earn them and will continue fighting to keep them in our wallets.

Coming from a business background, Sen. MacEwen understands the importance of fostering a strong business environment. Over the past decade, the Washington State Legislature has continued to pass legislation that has threatened small businesses and caused our great state to deviate from its roots as a thriving place to do business. Sen. MacEwen will continue doing the work to return our state to a place where people are encouraged to become business owners and stimulate local economies.

As a proud resident of Mason County, Sen. MacEwen understands the importance of protecting the rural way of life. Since his election in 2012, he has worked with elected officials on both sides of the aisle to preserve the rural economy. He has a strong understanding of how we live beyond the I-5 corridor, and it has allowed him to effectively fight policies that favor Washington’s urban centers. He will continue working hard to make sure that millions of Washingtonians’ voices are being heard by lawmakers in Olympia.
