Meet Antony

Now let me tell you why I’m running.

I’ve Built Businesses. They’ve Built Roadblocks.

For more than 35 years I’ve started, grown and led businesses: From Fortune 250 Boardrooms to oyster beds on the Willapa Bay. I know how hard it is to hire and grow when politicians keep piling on regulations and paperwork. While they’ve built careers in politics, I’ve built jobs, opportunity and accountability.

35+ Years of Experience — leading companies and creating opportunity across industries.

Thousands of Jobs Created — not by government programs, but by hard work and enterprise.

Hundreds of Millions in Impact — delivering results that strengthened communities and families.

Government Should Do a Few Things Well

Like Making Housing Affordable

When government holds back on the basics - roads, sewer systems, homeownership - it stands in the way of opportunity

WA-03 includes Opportunity Zones that allow smart investors to defer or even eliminate capital gains tax. Let’s use that power to build housing where it's needed most—not lining investor pockets, but helping first-time buyers secure homes.

Our government has become a maze of red tape, regulations, and out-of-touch policies that hurt the people doing the work. It’s time for a new approach — one that puts small businesses, working families, and local communities first.

My Plan:

  • Incentivize duplex and triplex building in Opportunity Zones for first-time owners.

  • Require developer accountability—homes stay owned by families, not flipped to investors.

  • Pair federal OZ benefits with streamlined permitting and reduced fees.

You don’t need a career politician to make housing work. You need someone who builds.

Safe Communities. Secure Borders.

Government’s first responsibility is to keep its people safe…in our neighborhoods and at our borders.

I’ll always stand with law enforcement, first responders, and the families they protect. Too often, politicians in Washington talk tough but fail to deliver the resources or respect our communities need.

I believe in secure borders and rational immigration — policies that work for families, for workers, and for businesses. And I’ll fight against the drug trafficking and crime that are tearing at too many of our towns.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about responsibility. Washington needs to stop the excuses and start doing its job.

Education Should Prepare Kids for Life - Not Politics

Every parent deserves a voice. Every student deserves real-world skills.

I’ve built businesses for decades, and I know what happens when schools fail our kids. They graduate without the tools they need to succeed — while parents are pushed to the sidelines.

We need schools that teach reading, math, and science — and give students paths into trades, technology, or higher education. We should be preparing young people for life and work, not pushing them into political fights.

I’ll fight for an education system that reflects the values of families, respects parents’ voices, and equips students to thrive in the real world.

Team 1655:

Every County. Every Voice. Every Week.

Change doesn’t start in D.C. It starts here with us.

I can’t do this alone. Team 1655 is our movement: 1655 voices, each talking to one neighbor a day. Together, we’ll reach every single person in Washington’s 3rd District. Not with ads or noise, but with real conversations.

This campaign isn’t about politicians. It’s about people. And it only works if we do it together.
