Candidate statement

Alexander provided the following candidate statement for the Washington state voter guide:

I have tremendous hope for the future of our country as a beacon of light for people around the world. Through the American principle of self-governance we must protect our freedoms and the right to choose.

The great goal of our Congress is to reach fundamental agreement on emerging issues while nurturing progress toward peace, liberty, and dignity. Division within our government has been causing the decline of our country’s strength, influence, and productivity. We must unite the House and pass important legislation.

We need a healthy, nourished population that can afford the growing cost of living. We need an infrastructure that gives us the luxuries of modern life while balancing the growing problems with pollution and waste. Domestic investment and on-shoring of work are needed to renew our core principles and establish a new foundation for American growth.

The Arts are a defining element of our culture. In an increasingly technological world, it is possible to lose the self; the Arts offer respite. Arts investment is crucial for a healthy society; one that must in this generation find stability.

We need peace internationally. Our country must stand for freedom and democratic ideals, but it must also seek lasting peace and security. We must strive to include all nations in our world order; securing lands, lifting sanctions, and promoting increased trade in traditional and emerging industries. We must use our power for the exercise of compassion and human betterment; applying our ethics that happiness is sought not through greed and indifference but through generosity and gratitude.

I have resided in downtown Seattle for 14 years. It would be my privilege to apply my energy and background as your representative in Congress. I ask for your vote, and a donation if you are able. Thank you. [2]
