2016

Forsman's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • We need leaders in Washington now more than ever, who are willing to stand up for your rights, I’m prepared and willing to do so. I have a plan to take care of our veterans with the adequate medical care they deserve by creating legislation to let veterans use their VA benefits at any Washington medical facility.
  • I have ideas to get our homeless community back into society. Better filtration of our water is crucial and focussing on ideas like: Cutting Taxes! Reforming our criminal justice system. Building more schools, focusing on Higher education with education reform (power back into the families and teachers), treatment facilities for drug offenders and lower the amount of people we send to jail. I would like to Lower the costs for permits, DMV costs and others essentials resources.
  • I study and understand our constitution and will fight for all our rights, Equality for everyone. United We Stand!
  • It’s time we start with common sense laws for the people’s needs. Not Big Government.[5]
—Justin Forsman, [6]
