About Jim Postma

Jim Postma started as an officer in the United States Air Force, and then was selected by Rocketdyne to work first on ICBM design and subsequently the Apollo project which ushered America's space age and landed Man on the Moon.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Grace Lee and John Postma, Jr. His father was the son of Norwegian immigrants and worked as a Test Engineer for Commonwealth Edison Company in Chicago. Jim became interested in science and automobiles at an early age. At 16, he was selected to attend the University of Chicago in an accelerated program which would go directly to a Masters of Science. Under the persuasion of his parents, he opted to attend a different college. He graduated from Foreman High School with honors and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in 1956.

After a successful career as a Simulation and Rocket engineer Jim turned entrepreneur and has been involved in Investments, Food and Consulting businesses. As a father of two and a grandfather of six, Jim is a man of family values.

During the Barry Goldwater years (1963-65), Postma, opposing the idea of Marxist socialism, became politically active serving as a coordinator. Jim ran for the 28th District Washington State Assembly in 1984 to a favorable turnout though he did not win. During this time he began developing his concepts into answers for today’s issues.

In 2008, he ran for 9th Congressional District in Washington State and single-handedly garnered 35% of the vote against incumbent Democrat Adam Smith.

His philosophy of,

“One person speaking the truth is more powerful than guns or money”

 is an ongoing concept in the development of Postma’s campaign.

Jim wants to go to Washington to repeal laws that make government intrude into your life.

“Let's get the federal government out of your pocket and open the door for your future success”

is Jim's motto
