Jake Fey

We are pleased to support Jake Fey for reelection to the State House. Rep. Fey has been effective in his first term in the House. As Vice-Chair of the Transportation Committee, he has focused much of his efforts negotiating a transportation revenue package that will fund the future of our state’s transportation while upholding our core values of environmental and worker protections. Unfortunately, the Senate ultimately killed any agreement for such a package, preventing the extension of the Hwy. 167 corridor to expedite moving goods to and from the Port of Tacoma. A bipartisan supplemental transportation budget was passed with Rep. Fey’s help. This budget continues construction of projects that were promised in the 2003 and 2005 transportation packages and protects over 47,000 jobs tied to those projects over the biennium. He also worked to include in the supplemental transportation budget a proviso that will improve our oil-spill monitoring and prevention systems. He mediated an energy conservation amendment to I-537 between the environmental community and the utilities, which easily passed both the House and Senate. His strong environmental voting record further demonstrates his commitment to the environment. We need more representatives like Jake in the House!
