Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm not a politician. I'm not a lobbyist. I do not know anyone in politics. I do not have any friends nor acquaintances in politics. I have no ties to corporations or special interest groups. I'm not corrupted by politics. I'm a wife and mother of four. I've worked in healthcare for over 20 years and am educated in law and politics. I authentically represent The People. I've lived in Washington State my entire life and I travel around the state each camping season with my kids.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

"...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive...it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it..." I declare our Independence from destructive political parties who propagandize us to perpetuate a two-party system that the People do not control, nor benefit from. I refuse to continue to turn a blind eye to corrupt behavior. I refuse to usher the lies from the past, into the future; I refuse to carry that burden and I refuse to let my kids eventually carry that burden.
If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done. This declares the ability to change the course of events by changing the decision you make. Einstein told us that insanity is making the same decision repeatedly while expecting a different result. I want to escape the two-party system. I want to rebuild our political communities on the ashes of corruption. I want the People of this state to secure their prosperity over corporate prosperity for once in our lives. I want the political parties to know that the People of this state are no longer subservient to their agendas.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears...and if all others accepted the lie which the party imposed...then the lie passed into history and became the truth." Since 2020 this state is looking awfully Orwellian and this will not be tolerated. The Revised Codes of Washington DECLARES the People of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. The People also do not give our public servants the right to decide what is good for us to know, and what is not good for us to know. We will no longer be propagandized to perpetuate the two-party system.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I surf the Legislature website and warn everyone about bills that directly conflict with the needs of the People. I pay significant attention to the bills and bill promoters that increase taxes for the People, or just otherwise make it economically hard for a large group of people, just to make it economically easier for a small group of people. I like doing this because it's common for people to become propagandized to go against their own self-interest.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to the version of myself that is my best self. I practice working towards this self every day. My best self is balanced in all things, compassion and indifference, emotional intelligence, dominance and submission, good humor and seriousness,

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Most books, music, television, news and films about current events are propaganda either for, or against something the political parties have politicized about our lives, so I recommend none of the mainstream materials whatsoever. I would, however, suggest Orwell, so People can see what's happening to us and get an idea of why I do not support political parties.

I'd recommend reading The COINTELPRO Papers by Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall. People will start to understand why the political movements of the past were unsuccessful, and how the government uses our alphabet agencies to keep us under political control.
I'd suggest reading The End of America by Naomi Wolf, so the People can see that both political parties are executing Fascist tactics at every step and have been actively using Fascist techniques since 2020. I highly recommend researching Fascism and its components. Then the People can start to see how they closed down an open society after invoking a terrifying external threat. They demonized the enemy, which was "invisible". They maintained the "enemy" for functionality, and they asserted the superiority of the agency leader's intellect over abstract and universal reason.
Even though the Establishment controls Chomsky, it's still beneficial to read Noam Chomsky's "Manufactured Consent", to learn how hard we're propagandized. It's really amazing actually; not the propaganda itself, but the fact that most people have no idea it's happening.
I'd suggest reading Dr. Mary's Monkeys by Edward Haslam. I recommend this because if you've never cracked a book, or figured out what an adjuvant is, everything you know about vaccines is propaganda from drug companies and people that benefit off your ignorance.

My political philosophy is very clear; I cannot be propagandized, I cannot be gaslit, and I do not support political parties.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

First and foremost, integrity. We're seeing INCREDIBLE integrity issues in our current elected officials. The example that comes to mind is the fact that the governor appoints the head of the Executive Ethics Board, who decides the outcome of ethical violations against the executive branch, like the governor. An elected official with integrity would have addressed this immediately. Second, an elected official needs to know the value of a dollar and frankly, I don't see ANY elected officials who know the value of a dollar. An example of this is passing legislation that gives those who home violent sex offenders $35K per month, when a large portion of constituents barely make that much in a year. If they knew the value of a dollar, that would have never been an option. A third principle important for an elected official is truth. Truth isn't convenient, or glamorous or pretty; it doesn't get you votes, nor popularity nor friends. Truth is not relative to the circumstance or the political party, and for too long we've allowed elected officials to hide behind their title and their peers, without telling us the TRUTH.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I read, write and speak law. I lead compassionately and aggressively. I cannot be propagandized. I cannot be gaslit. I cannot be purchased, scared or otherwise intimidated. I have no political favors I owe. I have no corporate favors I owe. I change my mind based on evidence. I don't listen to others without verifying. I actually represent the People. What benefits the People benefits me. I don't need the People to join an ideology to support me. I don't require the People to declare their affiliation. I don't offer to punish the People through legislation. I don't offer to punish the corporations and political parties through legislation, but they will no longer be priority. I embrace change and wear it like a suit of clothing, as 2020 made most of us adaptable on a dime. I'm not scared to trailblaze, I'm not scared to anger the Establishment, I'm not scared to have propaganda campaigns smear me. I'm not scared to voice "People over Profits". I'm not scared to stand up when everyone else is crouched in fear.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The core responsibilities are as follows:

1. Upholding the state and federal Constitution.
2. Preventing corruption.
3. Protecting the People.
4. Employing logic and common sense to solve issues, free of political party influence and agenda.

5. Administer the executive office duties as required by law.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A legacy of strength, integrity and truth. The accomplishments of the last 100 years have been tainted by greed, arrogance and perpetual peonage and we will not bring that behavior, that arrogant and willful dishonesty, to the next generations, in the name of national security. The things the past generations have done to the People are so horrific they are unspeakable. A legacy would be to turn this around and refuse to carry that horrific baggage into the future. Refusing to lie to our children about politicians and political parties in our governments. Refusing to lie to OURSELVES about how political parties use our government positions to divorce us from our own rights. Refusing to SEE what our eyes and ears tell us, to create a comfortable narrative for our own selves. Refusing to see what the Founding Fathers warned us about, set us up to prevent and constructed the groundwork TO prevent. I would like to leave a legacy of truth in government for the first time in hundreds of years. I would like a legacy of eradicating political party involvement in our government. There is no room for the left and right; there is only room for logic in the middle.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The first event I paid significant attention to was 9/11.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was a dog bather. I live in Yelm, just outside of Olympia and received $5 dollars an hour from the local dog groomer shop. I kept that job for a few months, and then a Pizza Hut opened up in town, so I went to work for them.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Oh, friends we don't have just ONE favorite book, no, no, no, no. One favorite book is for people who don't actually read, or who only read fiction. I only read fiction if I have to, or when I was younger, so my favorite fiction book is Gone with the Wind. Now, my favorite nonfiction books would be more than the number of characters I'm allotted here, which is exactly 2000. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again, it's best not to participate in mainstream nonfiction because it's all propaganda to sway you either for or against political party agendas that have weaponized facets of our lifestyles against us. I prefer books like "And the Band Played On", so we know how horrifically the AIDS virus was handled. "The Jamestown Experiment", so we can see what they were doing to us without us even knowing what was happening, and how they were going to use that information in the future. "The Case for Vaccine mandates", "The Case Against Vaccine Mandates", both of these are vaccine propaganda books from Kent Heckenlively and Alan Dershowitz and frankly, neither case was strong, and specifically the Case For vaccines was incredibly weak coming from an attorney. "Emerging Viruses", is the real story on what our grandparents and our parents were doing with gain of function viruses. "Radiation Nation", shows us how horrible man-made electromagnetic energy is for the body. Then there is, "The Anatomy of Fascism", "The Rich and the Rest of Us", which is Cornell West pro-poor propaganda. "A Higher Form of Killing", which is a history of biological weapons testing and usage, and especially the book entitled "How to Lie with Statistics", because it helps you identify the statistical fallacies in the political party arguments.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

I feel like most of our mainstream fictional characters have been manipulatively created to propagandize us to view and live life in a certain way. The Establishment uses many different tactics to keep us under control and using inspirational fictional characters and "history" to convince us of outright lies, is one of those tactics. The good news is, we now see all the Establishments tactics and it doesn't appear they came up with any new ones in the last hundred years. Sad for them.

So, if I could be any fictional character, I'd be the slaves that rose up against the masters. I'd be the housewives and husbands that ACTUALLY stood up against slavery. I'd be the ACTUAL civil rights leaders that made the movement what it was.

I'd be Bernice Eddy. I'd be Edward Snowden. I'd be Brooke Jackson. I'd be Scott Smith. I'd DEFINITELY be Scott Smith.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

I work 40 hours a week in patient care and the other day a gal and her mom came in and we all started singing "A bushel and a peck", which I hadn't heard in almost 35 years. That was a nice experience, and that song was stuck in my head for several days.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Holding politicians accountable for their actions. Especially when they deviate from their oaths of office or required duties. I'm realizing the public servants that go outside of their duties can be held personally liable for those actions and will not be immune from prosecution. If the executive usurps legislative function during their scope of employment, the executive can be held personally liable for what was done outside of that scope of employment. I'm in the beginning phases of researching the elected official bonds, and how to take them in court as damages for going outside of their scope of employment. Other than this, I have no struggles in life per se, because I walk in logic and common sense, and I don't lack the courage nor investigative skills of my convictions.

A governor is the top executive authority in his or her state. What does that mean do you?

That means ensuring the People's government is not used to meet political party goals and corporate goals and is instead, used to further the People's goals. An example of the People's goals is establishing functional wells and groundwater access in areas that have PFAS poisoning. An example of political party goals is requiring residents to use technology they can't afford to further an agenda the People aren't capable of meeting without it detrimentally affecting them.

Top executive also means mitigating issues between state and federal agencies, assisting the People with protecting their economic prosperity, personal rights and sovereignty. This also means, that even though the Executive may not be religious, the executive will still PROTECT religion for those who are, as religious exercise is a Constitutional guarantee.
The top executive also carries out the Constitutional and statutory obligations detailed in laws like the Revised Codes of Washington. The top executive should have a top remembering that Article I Section I of the Washington State Constitution says, "All Political Power is inherent in the People". This does not say, all political power is inherent in political parties, nor corporations, nor oligarchies, nor any other entities. ALL Political power is inherent in ONLY the People.

I expect the top executive to set the bar for behavior in the workplace. Right now, the current work environment within the state agencies is a nightmare. I personally followed how the AG harassed, humiliated and discriminated against religious Ukrainians and Americans when the AG usurped legislative function in 2020. He created a form that he unduly influenced subordinate state employees to fill out for a "religious exemption", a form of which violated HIPAA by requiring them to disclose personal identifiable health information under duress. I'm probably the only person who has actually READ HIPAA.

Governors have many responsibilities, which vary from state to state. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your state?

Stabilizing the Peoples economy after it was intentionally sabotaged by political parties in 2020. Considering the proliferation of corruption has contributed to the decline of my economic status personally, I imagine it has contributed to the economic decline of pretty much everyone else that is not wealthy and/or a politician. This is unacceptable, so for the next four years, the People need to secure their own government and take it away from the political parties, until the political parties get their priorities together and start representing the People. I personally consider the eradication of self-serving elected officials and corrupt public servants to be a priority for the next four years.

Our state law says, "The People of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them", but they tried to take our sovereignty in 2020, which means every single individual in office at that time who didn't try to stop them from taking our sovereignty, should be fired and banned from ever running for state office again.

Another important responsibility is KNOWING what the laws say and knowing what the state and federal Constitution says so the executive knows right away when a proposed bill, mandate or any other law isn't being followed appropriately. in 2020 our executive branch usurped legislative function by creating a law that required the People to be subjugated to an investigational biological agent under duress, not to promote health, but to promote biopharmaceutical sales. The governor will NEVER have the authority to usurp legislative function during a state of emergency. But this is how we tell the difference between the People's governor and the political party's governor. The People's governor would have never used Fascist tactics like closing an open society to address the issues we faced in 2020.

Different states require governors to have different degrees of responsibility for the state budgeting process. If it were your choice, what do you believe is the appropriate degree of gubernatorial involvement with this process in your state?

I want the executive team to personally review, gut and approve or deny all budgets based on what is best for the People of this state. When political parties review and approve budgets, they approve what is best for the political party. The People are poor now, so reviewing, cutting and approving budgets is necessary to gut programs that are no longer beneficial, or are avenues of siphoning taxpayer money to groups of people. These politicians already aren't sticking to their budgets, and it's incredibly disturbing when government agencies require more money but doesn't show more results.

The fact that we have elected officials budgeting millions of billions of dollars, but don't know the value of a dollar and have never lived paycheck to paycheck, is one of the most asinine things I've ever seen the People support. Most of the People in this state are so well versed at budgeting $20 dollars for 5 days, that we could systematically dismantle the pseudo budgets offered by political parties and rebuild actual budgets that reflect real evidentiary fiscal needs by the state employees, in less time than it takes a politician to make up non-answer answers.

But that would cut quite a bit of funnels that are currently siphoning funds from these elaborate, chaotic and embellished budgets. Budgets that contract elected officials' friends and family as recipients of taxpayer funds. Budgets that give complicated descriptions to questionable fiscal requests. My involvement would be "if you want money, you better prove it benefits the People", which would ruffle the feathers that don't plan on benefitting the People, but still plan on reaping that monetary award.

In most states, governors have the power to make line-item vetoes. If that is true in your state, what would be your philosophy for how and when to use this power?

I review all proposed law at least once a week, line by line, already. I actually read the bills, and no one pays me for it. I do this so I can see which direction the political parties are trying to take us in. I also post about which bills I would straight out veto, and which bills I would line-item veto. I will veto ALL bills and ALL line items that negatively affect the People of this state, regardless of whether it benefits or hurts a political party, or a corporation. I will veto each and every bill or line item that hurts a group of people or attempts to otherwise strip a group of people of their rights. I will veto each and every bill that infringes on the Rights of the People. I will veto each and every bill that attempts to evade giving the People access to their Rights. I will veto every single bill and definitely every single line item that attempts to overpower, discriminate or otherwise prevent the People from prospering or securing their prosperity economically. I will wholly and completely veto anything that even remotely attempts to prioritize corporations or political parties over the People. These political parties and these corporations have been profiting off of us for long enough and I will veto them and the political party agendas into submission.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The ideal relationship would be to completely annihilate all political parties in our state government. The political parties require hard stances that aren't even logical, nor do they make sense, but they do cause chaos and strife, where there would normally be none. The ideal relationship would be where the legislature ACTUALLY listens to their own arguments because the political party hasn't predetermined their vote for or against a thing. The ideal relationship would be the executive minding the executive function, and not usurping legislative power to mandate pharmaceuticals. The ideal relationship would have been the legislature demonstrating to support the PEOPLE, until the governor stood down and stopped usurping legislative function. The ideal relationship would be that neither is over the other, but they CHECK each other when they become out of pocket. The governor checks the legislature by vetoing bills, the legislature checks the governor when unlawful mandates are imposed. Both branches are supposed to protect the interest of THE PEOPLE, not the interest of the political party, not the interest of the corporations and not the interest of biopharmaceutical giants.
The governor is no one's boss. The governor is simply an administrative tool, especially in troubling times. The ideal relationship is where the legislative and executive balance each other, as opposed to waring with each other because political party interests separate their obligations to the People, and the People are too divorced from state government to check them back into their lane. In the 99% context, the governor is the butler, he is not the mother nor father. The executive assists us, he does not act in ways adverse to the People. The executive helps us figure out business out, the executive does not decide our business for us. We have a tendency to subcontract our political power to politicians, so we don't have to think, and that has created many monsters.

What do you love most about your state?

I love how the orographic lifting from the Cascade Mountain range because it creates a desert type atmosphere in the middle and Eastern part of the state. We are literal geographical anomalies up here in the Pacific Northwest. I also enjoy saying, seeing and reading about the Native American names and history here. We travel around the entire state during camping season, experiencing different state parks and RV sites in different cities and our most favorite is Steamboat Rock State Park near Grand Coulee and Electric City Washington so far. I love how the East is not as crowded as the west, and the middle of the state is even less crowded. I love how I can go to a different part of the state if I want a different geographical experience. We have access to everything from Oceanic atmospheres to smoggy large cities, to authentic desert atmospheres, wooded forests and rolling fields with no mountains for a hundred miles and wooded forests and rolling hills with mountains all around. If I want hot during the day and chilly cold at night I will go to the north. If I want warm days and warm nights, I will go to the south. In one day, I can see dense wooded terrain and a few hours later I'm looking at miles and miles of Appletree's and then a while later I'm looking at miles and miles of wheat. I was born and raised on the west side of the state and during the summers my parents took me to the east side of the state to vacation. In my 20's we all moved to the east side of the state and went back to the west side to visit family. This is how I became so familiar with the many different routes to get from one side to the other. I became familiar with the geography and I fell in love with my state.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

PFAS in our drinking water, silver iodide and sulfuric acid being sprayed in the atmosphere and fighting the political parties and corporations who lie about it and benefit from it. Eradicating corrupt political parties from government and shifting the direction of legislature to focus on the People's needs to create economic prosperity and security.
Once we get political parties out of our government, we won't be forced to deal with such insane, illogical and unrealistic propagandized and highly exploited issues that only keep us chaotic and unfocused on what goals to actually buckle down on. Once we eradicate political parties in our state, we won't need 538 "programs" for drug addicts that give them free hotel rooms to use drugs. We can have a few programs that address addiction that are very successful and powerful created by people who do not have political agenda's they are required to meet to keep their party affiliations. It's not in a politician's best interest to solve a problem because then they wouldn't be able to ask us for money for that problem. If homelessness remains perpetual, there will always be taxpayer money available for programs for homelessness. Paying for "experts" to give their opinions on what programs to create, is sometimes the most expensive part of the programs. These "experts" are often friends, family or acquaintances of the politicians, which is why the person who releases violent sex offenders using lie detector tests, has his wife keeping 13 violent sex offenders in a house in Enumclaw, which nets her approximately $400K a month in taxpayer money. One of the greatest challenges is eradicating the predators from the system. One of the greatest challenges is fighting political corruption as hard as we fight our family members that owe us $20 dollars from seven years ago.

Tell us your favorite joke.

My favorite joke is the one Quentin Terentino told in the movie Desperado. If you know, you know... if you don't, that's too bad.

Under what circumstances should the governor of your state be able to use emergency powers?

The "circumstances" are outlined in state statutes like the Revised Codes of Washington, even though we WATCHED the political parties make up their own regulations during that state of emergency. The economic status of the People required a SOE in 2020. One should have been declared to assist the People in financially recovering from unlawful mandates rolled out by political parties in 2020, where thousands of People were forced to retire, quit or be terminated from their jobs to avoid participating in an investigational biological agent.

The political party shut down an entire sector of middle-class small business. The SOE that took out a sector of middle class was functional for the political party, whereas a SOE to get the People back on their economic feet after obliterating the economy was not functional, nor beneficial to the political party. During a SOE the executive is obligated to waive, suspend and prohibit laws that interfere with the SOE functionality and goals, if the goal is to rebuild the economy for the People, we would CAP things like gas taxes, gas prices, "inflation", rent, insurance, utilities and other controllable facets of economics.
We should have declared a SOE for homelessness and drug overdoses. We should have declared a SOE for the individuals who were adversely affected after participating in the investigational biological agent, especially if it was under duress and fear of losing their jobs. We should have issued a SOE regarding the dumping of sulfuric acid and silver iodide in the atmosphere to prevent further contamination of the air, ground, water, humans and animals.

We should have declared a SOE for the amount of PFAS we have contaminating ground and well water. Some cities like Airway Heights have to BUY WATER from the City of Spokane because it is not in the political party's best interest to ensure the People have adequate, unpoisoned drinking water.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

None. The People's interests are the direct opposite of corporate and political party interests, so none of those entities would endorse their own downfall.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

There is no financial transparency and accountability. Most of us are so insanely jaded with corrupt politicians that we literally ignore them whenever we get a chance. Nevertheless, we somehow manage to always see reports of several millions and billions of dollars being unaccounted for.

The Attorney General is suing corporations he can't even prove damages on. Moses Lake just lost $20 million somehow, somewhere, but no one knows where, or whose pockets it went into. The complete lack of administrative oversight on the Covid funding alone should produce some criminal charges.
But we're not seeing criminal charges, what we're seeing is, the most nefarious people are much more powerful than the people whistleblowing, so we sit in this weird state of stagnation where corrupt politicians just continue being corrupt, while the People stare them in their faces.
The politician's audacity is at an all-time high these days, and that is not acceptable in a government they don't contribute much to except chaos, pathetic displays for attention and unaccounted for millions. When it comes to transparency and accountability, I'm not a politician, so it doesn't benefit me to withhold information.

It benefits me to tell the People whose pockets their money is going into. It benefits me to track the money down and find out where it is. It benefits me to understand how these political parties receive billions of dollars yet have to increase property taxes because the budgets they came up with weren't sufficient... due to "inflation", but the People navigate inflation flawlessly because we're used to budgeting $30 dollars for 6 days of using gas and eating food and going to work, only so we can have maybe, $40 dollars left until the next payday. Politicians don't know anything about financial transparency and accountability, unless they want to know about the Peoples finances and hold the People accountable.

Do you support or oppose changes to the current state ballot initiative process? If so, what kind of changes would you consider?

I don't support HB1826, as it's very duplicitous and takes advantage of the political ignorance of the People. Someone needs to go ahead and inform me how keeping the People ignorant of political party affiliations on the primary BALLOT benefits the political awareness of the People who hold ALL political power. I won't be holding my breath for that explanation though, because someone is going to have to dig DEEP in the no-response responses bucket to get that one.

HB2023 is good, as the People of this state don't just speak English.
My comment on HB1816 is, what is wrong with public servant and elected official thinking patterns. We're just going to prohibit the forwarding of ballots now. So, if I'm in the midst of relocating, I'm just going to miss out on voting because the county auditor received my forwarding address label and can't send it. What's worse is, when the auditor receives it, we're put on an inactive list, then notified using the forwarding address. How completely asinine. Only people who are distinctly out of touch with the everyday life of the People would come up with something so astronomically ignorant.
HB1475 is okay, but using electronic software to submit ballots is subjecting the People to corruptive voting practices. We know the political parties actively practice voter fraud, so perpetuating that potentiality by allowing their friends to create voting software that they control is about as asinine and ignorant as preventing us from forwarding our ballots.

HB1708 is rather innocuous, but we have to keep in mind, these political parties find it in their best interest to give us all a number and track us. While I would like to see my ballots and have an identification number, allowing this to be in legislation means, we're allowing the political parties to strip us of it.
