Software Engineer Eric Oemig Announces Bid for 45th District State Senate Seat FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
FOR MORE INFORMATION: Eric Oemig 425-830-2026
Kirkland - Software engineer and activist, Eric Oemig, declared today his bid for the 45th District State Senate seat.
"Our district needs a leader who focuses on the basics. We need to solve problems in education. We can improve the financial health of our families and our businesses by making health care affordable.
Everyone
saves money when we waste less time in traffic," said Oemig. "Our tax dollars should be spent on programs that return more value to families and businesses than we pay in."
Eric Oemig spent his high-tech career solving problems and inventing efficiencies for companies such as Microsoft. Oemig moved to the 45th district 15 years ago when he joined Microsoft. Oemig is a leader in the 45th District Democrats and host of "Moral Politics" a televised current events show.
"Bill Finkbeiner has been in Olympia since he graduated from college.
Our district wants new leadership. We have things that need to get done.
Finkbeiner spends his time flip-flopping trying to appease the right wing of his party instead of addressing the needs of the district,"
added Eric Oemig.
"I worked in the private sector to eliminate inefficiencies. I will work to bring that same attention to fiscal accountability to state government. More importantly, I have the integrity to make sure people know how I will vote on key issues," said Oemig.
After 14 years, Finkbeiner still won't say how he will vote on civil rights bill 1515 if it comes up again this year. Previously, he has voted both for and against the bill. "Let me be clear," said Oemig, "I will be happy to cast the deciding vote to ban this discrimination."
Eric Oemig lives in Kirkland with his wife Mary and their son Cray. He can be reached at: StateSenate@Oemig.com.
