Marko Liias

I am honored to have the support of the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs in my reelection campaign.  The brave men and women that keep us safe are some of the true heroes in our community.

Since my time on the Mukilteo City Council, I have been an advocate for ensuring that our police officers receive the resources and support they need to keep our community safe.

As a state representative, I was proud to stand with the Washington State Patrol and other public safety advocates to pass legislation to protect emergency workers.  By increasing penalties for speeding in emergency zones and toughening penalties for drivers that endanger emergency workers, we can ensure that our first responders can safely respond to roadside emergencies.

I was also a proud supporter of measures to toughen bail requirements and ensure that dangerous criminals aren't let out prematurely.  Standing with law enforcement officers across the state, the Legislature took action to prevent another tragedy like Lakewood from happening again.

I am proud to stand with our police and sheriffs, and I am honored to have them standing with me as I seek reelection.
