Schmick has spent a significant portion of his career in the public sector, currently serving as a Republican member of the Washington House of Representatives for the 9th Legislative District.

Political Ideas

Joe Schmick's legislative efforts to close a major section of the John Wayne trail for private use reveal a strategic focus on protecting local industrial interests, even if the outcome was nullified due to a typo.
