Statement

It’s an honor to serve you in the State House. Over the past four years, I’ve championed equitable investments in childcare, Paid Family and Medical Leave, affordable housing, and bike, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure. I’ve written groundbreaking legislation to reduce plastic waste and expand recycling. As a gun safety advocate, I passed bills to ban assault weapons and implement a 10-day waiting period for all firearm purchases. You deserve leaders who are passionate about protecting working families, abortion, and the environment and health of our community. That’s been my life’s work: standing up for people and pushing for bold change.

Statement

Let me be your voice for limited government. I will fight for tax relief, accountability, and pushing back government encroachment on our privacy and freedom. We can’t build our way out of the affordable housing crisis when the root is burdensome debt. We should maintain our essential social services but let Republicans do it better with programs that support family structure and encourage savings.
I am a Pro-Choice Republican. Our Washington State laws on abortion are rooted in our common law traditions and should be protected. Conservative values are gaining momentum – Vote yes on the initiatives in November.
