I am so thrilled to be living in my community in Eastern Washington. My 8-year-old daughter goes to school here, we have a horse, a goat, and 14 chickens. Although we haven't lived here long, District 7 and Nine Mile Falls has quickly become our forever home. My husband is a veteran who served in the Air Force, I am a universal healthcare/Medicare for All organizer.
I have been elected to the Washington State Democratic Central Committee three times, and I am currently the elected member for the 7th Legislative District. I have also been a Precinct Committee Officer three times and have volunteered and been a staffer for many campaigns, specifically the Whole Washington Healthcare campaign. So I am very familiar with solutions to the healthcare crisis we currently find ourselves in. To help out with the campaign, please visit davenportforwashington.com.
- When elected, my first priority will be getting the Whole Washington Healthcare Trust legislation passed to ensure every Washintonian has healthcare.
- I am dedicated to get big money out of politics. We have Republicans and Democrats in office taking money from the very same corporations that lobby to keep our system broken, and that money is a corrupting influence.
- I want to expand broadband to rural areas like my district. And I want it to be public. COVID19 has us homeschooling and it is very difficult for families that do not have access to the internet.
Even before millions of people lost their jobs this year, we had hundreds of thousands of people without healthcare coverage in our state, and many more families, like my own, struggling to pay high premiums and copays. Every year healthcare premiums get higher and higher, not to mention the hidden costs of out-of-network fees and surprise billing. Additionally, many rural areas like ours are having private insurers decide that it is too expensive to keep covering people here, so they are moving out leaving hospitals to close. Which means that we could find ourselves driving hours to the closest medical facility or having to use life flight more often, which is incredibly expensive.
