Jon T. Haugen candidate for Washington State Senate:
Jon Haugen, Senate Filing Statement for Voters’ Pamphlet, 18th LD
Significant career experience: 24 Year Military Veteran, 1981-2005, Commanding
Officer, Instructor Pilot, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Parent
Teacher Association (PTA) Region Legislative Chair, Fellowship of Christian
Athletes.
Education: United States Naval Academy, 1981, top one-third.
Family: Bride Cathy Haugen for 23 years, Registered Nurse, Legacy Salmon
Creek. Three children: one a Western Washington Graduate, two attend WSU-
Pullman. All attended Clark College, Running Start program. Both my parents
were teachers.
Elected Experience: I am not a politician. Please vote, vote to honor the sacrifice
of our military.
I ask for your vote.
PROPERTY TAXES: They are out of control. I fought the Clark County
Assessors’ Office and won.
I had my property taxes reduced by $68,000. I want to use that knowledge to help
change the system for those that don’t have the skill or time to fight against the
County.
FAMILY WAGE JOBS: Not just words but action. I visited Minnesota to bring a
wind turbine factory here.
I spoke with a Norwegian company to manufacture solar panels here. We cannot
remain a world power if we do not manufacture goods here.
CLARK CASINO: Opposed. We do not have the infrastructure to add 60,000
more cars to the highways.
LIGHT RAIL: Opposed. Too expensive at $250 million per mile. Use commuter
rail: Battle Ground to Vancouver to Portland; Washougal to Camas to Vancouver
to Portland; Kelso to Portland with stops in Kalama, Woodland, Ridgefield and
Vancouver. Faster, cheaper, better.
EDUCATION: The paramount duty of the State.
UNLIKE JOE ZARELLI: I have never been arrested, been arrested with cocaine,
declared bankruptcy, or collected over $12,000 to which I was not entitled from the
Washington Department of Revenue Unemployment Fund.
TURN THE PAGE: Vote for a fresh start. Be proud of your State Senator.

Zarelli: One of three senators to vote against poor kids getting a hot meal at school
This is a great country. We have not reached our potential. Please compare the
candidates: not just who is honest, not just who served this country with
distinction, not just who is volunteers with PTA, not only who has new ideas and
who is honest. But please compare all these qualities.
The incumbent has spent 13 long years in Olympia. In that time the number of
drop outs have doubled, the number of prisoners have doubled. Education has
seen a spending decline. These are all awful trends.
I am proud to be have worked on the campaign of Patty Murray. I am a
Democrat because of the inclusiveness of this party. The Democrats best
represent the words of the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness"
