Sitting here, looking out my window at the sunshine makes me think it's spring, but I know it's not true. That's okay because, so far, winter has been mild, and I know spring is just around the corner. I had the privilege recently of sitting down with two really neat people and listening to their story. For those of you who haven't met the Jensen family, let me introduce them to you: Dirk and Karen and their four children Austin, Chayden, Sonjya and Kaleb. Dirk is the new...
Cold, damp weather, plus cold and flu season is here, but still we have to eat. Chicken soup is good for what ails you, or if you are one of the rare, lucky ones who have skipped the bugs this year, chicken soup is a savory, warm dish for winter days.

Dear friends and neighbors, On Monday, the gavel fell to start the 2018 legislative session. Each session, walking into the Capitol Building is humbling. It gives me pause and provides me the opportunity to reflect on how fortunate I am to represent the folks of the 13th District and Washington state.

Although we sometimes feel that our role as the voice of Odessa is being usurped by Facebook, we have heard from many, many people that they do not want The Record to disappear.
