Dino Rossi

Dino served in the Washington state Senate from 1997 through 2003. He represented the 5th Legislative District in east King County. In 2003, he served as chairman of the Senate Ways & Means Committee where he was charged with producing the state’s budget. That year, he won acclaim for writing a bipartisan balanced budget that dealt with a massive budget deficit without raising taxes, while still protecting Washington’s most vulnerable citizens.

Dino currently serves as a Secretary for the Board of the Special Olympics for the State of Washington and is a member of the Dean’s Advisory Board for the School of Business at Seattle University. The most important part of Dino’s life is his family. He and his wife, Terry, have four children and live in Sammamish.

The SMBA in no way endorses candidates for office.
