Heck represents Washington’s brand new 10th Congressional District and campaigned on a jobs platform. He also was in favor of balancing federal budgets with a mixture of revenues raised by letting tax breaks lapse on high earners and by making reductions in spending.
The former state legislator-turned-entrepreneur, put out a statement Thursday, saying:
“The House Budget Committee is going to be at the heart of the biggest debate that will take place in Congress over the next two years. I look forward to working with members of both parties on passing a budget that reduces the federal deficit, helps create jobs, and keeps the American Dream alive for the middle class and those working to get into it,” Heck said.
The 10th district includes Olympia and most of Thurston County and radiates west and north to Shelton, University Place and Puyallup.
