As Washington’s 22nd governor, Chris Gregoire has delivered real results to the people of Washington. Combining effective leadership with a tireless work ethic, she has shown time and again that she has the courage and independence to stand up and fight for individuals and families. Under her leadership, we are building a better future for Washington families.

Facing a $2.2 billion budget shortfall when she took office, Governor Gregoire balanced the state’s budget as she expanded health care coverage to more than 73,000 low-income children, led an effort to make government more efficient and accountable, and introduced a plan to help struggling students graduate from high school. She championed the establishment of a rainy day fund to build a reserve for economic hard times. The proposal went before the voters in November 2007. Thanks to its passage and her prudently crafted budgets, Washington today has a healthy budget reserve.

Dino Rossi was the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Washington’s 2004 election – the closest and perhaps most memorable governor’s race in state history.

He served in the Washington State Senate from 1997 to 2003, representing the 5th Legislative District in east King County. As chairman of the State Ways and Means Committee he became a leader on budget issues and received bipartisan support for writing and passing a budget that balanced the largest deficit in state history without raising taxes.

He has also been successful in the commercial real estate business and is the co-founder of the Eastside Commercial bank.

Dino is a third-generation Washingtonian and received a business degree from Seattle University. He currently lives in Sammamish with his wife Terry and their four children.
