Why I’m Running.

I’m Adison Richards, candidate for State Rep., and I’m running to create opportunity for all.

So many people are struggling with rising out of pocket costs and a tax burden that’s falling too heavily on the average person. I’m running to create opportunities that I sought for my clients every day as a lawyer with the Northwest Justice Project, where I served people who can’t afford a lawyer. Every dollar matters, every job matters, and every person matters; I learned that digging irrigation trenches with my dad growing up.

We can have greater opportunity by improving education from Pre-K to trade school or graduate school. We should require the state to finally pay its fair share for our roads and bridges, and that means more good-paying jobs for our region. We can also grow jobs by making it easier to start businesses, supporting existing ones, and supporting trade schools and apprenticeships. I hope to earn your support and that you join us on the campaign trail!
