Lance Byrd - 23rd Legislative District
Born and raised in Seattle, I have lived most of my 54 years in the northwest. I moved my family to Bremerton seven years ago because of livability issues we experienced across the water. Our sons and daughter were successful academically here and we are proud of their career progress. Kitsap is our forever home.
The source of Seattle’s problems is now affecting Kitsap County and the entire state. Bad policy and the philosophy behind it are ruining quality of life for nearly everyone. I decided to run for office after seeing how the legislature raised our taxes and failed to protect our citizens by making it harder for law enforcement officers to apprehend and punish law breakers. Working people should be able to afford decent housing in safe neighborhoods. When elected I will push for solutions to homelessness with proven strategies that will include fiscal accountability and metrics for results.
I have worked for more than 24 years in the Information Tech (IT) sector. Currently employed as a Senior Technical Program Manager, I bring stakeholders together from across multiple organizations to solve complex people and process problems. Previous experience includes writing software programs, administering systems and networks, and fixing robots. I worked to earn my way through college. I understand concerns and empathize with everyday people. I regularly manage projects that bring people together who often have separate, and sometimes competing, interests to accomplish a singular goal and maintain fairness and respect within the group._____________________________________________________
