He is the first governor in Washington's history to succeed a governor of the same party. Governor Lowry's goals for his administration include: streamlining state government by merging agencies, cutting state travel expenditures, reducing equipment purchases and eliminating and consolidating nu­ merous boards and commissions; improving the efficiency and effective­ ness of regulatory programs; containing health care costs and assuring affordable health care for all of the state's citizens; promoting world trade opportunities; enhancing our natural resources and protecting our environment; and investing in our most precious resource - our chil­ dren. The Governors's Youth Agenda is recognized across the state as the first serious attempt to get at the roots of youth violence. As violent crime, pregnancy and drug use among our state's young people con­ tinue to increase, the Governor has targeted more prevention and educa­ tion services for children and families, while cracking down on hardened criminals. Governor Lowry and his wife, Mary, have been married for 26 years. Their daughter, Diane, is a college student.
