Redmond technology entrepreneur Tim Lee announced recently that he is running as a Republican to represent the 45th District in the Washington State House of Representatitives against incumbent Representative Larry Springer.

Lee says that he is running on three key issues: making the state live within a budget, improving the education system and untangling traffic congestion.“As the owner of a growing small business, I understand the importance of working within a budget and making financially responsible decisions. We need to stop the spending spree in Olympia that continues to push the state budget into the red. I have also witnessed the burden that our community carries with traffic gridlock and tension-filled commutes. I want to give my community their family time back.”

The 45th District includes Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, Carnation, Duvall and rural King County.
