Expand all | Collapse all

I am a global public health leader, human rights advocate, and mom who believes in the power of communities to lead change. Raising my three kids across the 36th and calling Queen Anne home for nearly two decades has been a joy. I never expected to run for office however the stakes are too high for me to sit on the sidelines. I have spent my career partnering with communities, governments, UN agencies, and the World Health Organization to prevent, rise to, and recover from the other pandemic and human rights crisis we’ve faced – HIV and AIDS. I entered this race because public health should be front and center as we work to build community, tackle the big challenges we face, and work to keep people safe and healthy. I entered this race because I have been on the frontlines of advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights around the world, and here at home. With the rollback of Roe v. Wade, upholding abortion as essential health care is more vital than ever. Ultimately, I could not sit by as transgender kids and their families – like my own – are being criminalized by State Legislatures. Washington State must be a beacon for good, shared dignity, and equality.
  • REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. My experience serving on the board of Cedar River Clinics, who provide reproductive health, abortion care, and gender affirming care across Washington, underscores to me how vital it is to invest in ensuring that every person who needs abortion care can get it through reinforcing funding, services, infrastructure, and providers. More, we need to pay critical attention to Eastern Washington where services are scarce and the impact of hospital mergers as we work to scale up access to and use of long-acting reversible contraception within a context of comprehensive sexuality education. We need leaders with public health expertise and steadfast passion for defending our rights at this moment.
  • PUBLIC HEALTH IS PUBLIC SAFETY. Everyone deserves to feel safe, and to be safe. We all want someone to come when we have an emergency. And we all have experienced OR born witness to the harm that over policing and police brutality can enact. As our work for accountability and reform continues, we face an impasse and an untenable workforce shortage. The State can and must play a vital role in making us safer. 1) Expand our understanding of what public safety is so that we address the connections between the many challenges we face, including homelessness, COVID-19, gun violence, and on. 2) Invest upstream to ensure a strong start in life. 3) Build a mental and behavioral health system to meet the needs of our most vulnerable.
  • Our public education system in Washington State should be the best in the country, tapping the incredible braintrust we have across our State. As a Seattle Public School parent since 2008, my children have regularly had some of the most exceptional educators I’ve ever encountered - and yet our schools remain in crisis mode with parents propping them up, students falling through the cracks, students of color being left behind, and our teachers carrying an untenable burden. Strong public schools are the backbone of a strong society. Every student deserves excellence in education, and every student should have every opportunity to excel in an inclusive setting. Sustainable, stable, and robust funding for our schools is key.
I am passionate about health and human rights, and will prioritize learning from where we fell short, what we learned, and how to do better as we continue to navigate COVID-19 and recover from it. Public health not politics must be governing our decision-making across all the big complex challenges we face. I am passionate about LGBTQI equality and inclusion, and creating a world that is welcoming and safe for transgender and gender diverse kids like my own. As I connect with more families across our District, I hear how we are failing to meet the mental health needs of everyone - especially our teens. I know the struggles my family has had in finding care, and that experience is shared by everyone I meet.

Nelson Mandela took his experience of fighting for freedom and being jailed for decades to lead a nation through reconciliation and healing; to develop a constitution to uphold the rights and envision the future for a rainbow nature; and to embody a quote that I always look to, 'it is always impossible until it is done.' I look to Nelson Mandela's strength, wisdom, and grace to lead from darkness into light during this time when our democracy here at home faces painful polarization and divisions over one another's basic humanity. Mandela found a way to lead with heart and integrity. I will continue to strive to do so as well. It IS in our hands, to make a better world for all who live in it.
Integrity, accountability, principle, transparency, and a commitment to service.
I have spent my life making a difference for others and with others – living my values – using my privilege for good - rising to the big complex, challenges of the moment – partnering with and centering impacted communities – and of advancing and upholding human rights. I relish being the underdog, speaking truth to power, and achieving what others once considered impossible.

My approach to leadership is about leading from behind, creating space for others, building a big table, and centering the most impacted – it is also about asking what people want as the starting point to frame the challenge, the need, the opportunity, and the priorities.

Through my work in HIV and sexual and reproductive health and rights, I know that we have the most transformative impact and durable solutions when the most affected are the ones informing the decision-making that affects their lives.

As a part of my work here at home and around the world – I am a convener, coalition builder, and as my friend/ colleague/ mentor named it – a transparent collaborator. I ask questions, listen, learn, and am not afraid to ask whether we are asking the right questions, and assess where the rubber meets the road for an old fashioned turn of phrase – is what we are doing going to lead to tangible change in someone’s life?

I follow the data, believe that you have to bring in those who see things differently, and hold accountability for my actions.

A fundamental pillar of this is a belief in the power of participation and true representation, meaning my job as a candidate and public servant is to represent the will of the people and to serve others.

Over my lifetime – I have witnessed the power of communities to lead and bring forward the solutions that transform their lives – this is the philosophy that I carry with me.

I believe in people over politics, and showing up to make a difference for others .
Getting lost in a book is one of my favorite things to do. It brought me great comfort as a child - and is the best part of a mountain or beach getaway now as an adult (even making long haul flights fly by.) I can't tell you a favorite as there are too many beautiful books that can tear your heart open, expand your horizon, and help you understand how others experience the world. I look for books written by authors from around the world, I look for books to disappear in, and I also love a mindless beach read. Somewhat embarrassing confession. In my early decision interview for Harvard many, many moons ago - I said loved to read. When the interviewer asked me what kinds of books - I said what was first out of my mouth and true at the time...bad romance novels. Somehow my completely ridiculous answer rang true as I got in.
Washington State faces a number of key threats and challenges. We are facing spiraling inequality across our state. We will have to lead in new ways because of a seismic rollback of rights and a failure of action at the federal level. And we will have to do this, as we work to overcome a fractured politic here at home. This will be the backdrop as we recover from a once in a century pandemic, accelerate our climate action, rise to an increase in need for reproductive health, and solve the on-going challenges we've faced for too long of mental health, behavioral health, homelessness, and housing insecurity as a middle class issue.
I believe strong community roots, and a commitment to representative democracy is essential. I have never run for office, and am the outsider candidate in my race. The breadth and depth of my experience outside of politics enable me to speak truth to power, to be independent of a system that can center politics over people, to ask hard questions, and to take brave steps for structural change because I am running to make a difference as a public servant.
Yes, Absolutely. Legislating is team work, and requires a robust process of dialogue and debate to understand complex challenges from all sides so we don't have blindspots or enact harmful unintended consequences. We need all of us working together to achieve structural, systemic, durable solutions.
