| Collapse all
I am here for ALL of the people of the 11th District. No matter who they voted for, their party affiliation, or how they may distinguish themselves from others.
I have experienced both hardship and plenty at many levels. I know what it is like to rely on welfare to put food on the table, to worry over how to pay for next month's rent, the embarrassment that comes from selling off prized possessions, and the despair of falling further and further into debt.
I am not a career politician that is more concerned with gaining power than actually helping the people that they are supposed to represent.
This ability to see & understand the differences & similarities between different groups is what I feel makes me a good candidate. I thrive on bringing together people with different beliefs to work together toward a common goal
Over the last few years, I have seen this country degrade amidst battles between the extreme radicals of both the left and the right. No one has the high ground here.
I am here to help this country get back on track- We are all suffering from economic burdens caused by inflation from poorly thought out policies in the last 2 administrations, as well as excessive taxation. As an example: Washington state has one of the highest gas taxed in the country. Yet some think that the problem lies soley with oil companies making record profits, when the profit margin for most oil companies is ~$.09 per gallon. So, while yes oil companies did report large profits in 2022 this ignores the record losses that they reported in 2021.
- American politics emphasizes cronyistic policies that benefit the rich while harming the working class. We need to put an end to policies that contribute to the so called swamp that has only gotten worse since 2016.
- We cannot move forward unless we work together in a non-partisan manner. In the past Centrist solutions have been responsible for most of the positive forward movement this country has seen and enjoyed. Now you have politicians that will vote no on a bill just to spite the other party. Even if it was a bill that they introduced themselves.
Ensuring the protection of rights guaranteed within the Constitution, while also protecting the health and well-being of our friends and families.
Collaboration: The ability to work together with others is essential for achieving positive solutions. While it may sound idealistic, collaboration is fundamental in politics. If you cannot work with people who hold different views, you cannot effectively serve. It's not about agreeing on everything but about finding common ground, compromising when necessary, and striving to best represent the people through cooperative efforts.
In the state house, this responsibility translates into ensuring that new legislation is thoroughly considered and crafted with the well-being of all citizens in mind, not just a simple majority. From a libertarian perspective, it is essential to protect individual freedoms and limit government overreach. This involves carefully evaluating the necessity and potential impact of new laws, ensuring they do not infringe on personal liberties or impose unnecessary burdens on individuals and businesses.
However, the one I remember in more detail is the space shuttle challenger explosion in 1986. I was in middle school at the time and I remember watching the coverage on TV in our classroom
And then what is probably my first "real" job was washing dishes at a restaurant in Ballard during my senior year of high school which lasted about 6 months.
The legislature should act as an independent branch, not merely at the behest of the executive and their agenda. This separation of powers is crucial to ensure a system of checks and balances, preventing any one branch from gaining too much control. From a libertarian perspective, this independence is vital to safeguarding individual freedoms and limiting government overreach.
Transportation: The Seattle metropolitan area suffers from severe traffic congestion, and the state's roads and bridges require maintenance and expansion. The costs are high, and efforts to balance benefits versus costs have been inadequate. While Sound Transit has helped reduce single-use transportation into Seattle, state subsidies for passenger fares remain a concern.
Homelessness: Urban homelessness is a major issue, driven by high housing costs, pay disparities, and rising mental health issues. Despite nearly $2 billion allocated to address this crisis, the problem persists. Efforts include funding for affordable housing, rental assistance, and eviction prevention, but zoning restrictions and economic burdens on property owners hinder progress. More coordinated support and affordable housing solutions are essential.
Financial Hardship: Economic challenges in Washington are compounded by high taxes and cost of living. Reducing the tax burden and fostering economic opportunities are critical to alleviating financial hardship for residents.
Climate Change: While Washington is proactive in environmental consciousness, realistic solutions to climate issues are lacking. Acknowledging human impact on natural balances is necessary. Recent measures like promoting electric vehicles (EVs) may not yield immediate benefits due to the environmental costs of raw materials and economic barriers for most people. High gas taxes and proposed vehicle mileage taxes further strain residents, complicating the transition to EVs and increasing pressure on public transportation.
We don't need more career politicians; we already have plenty, and the world continues to face significant challenges. Government should be by the people and for the people, not by a select few for the benefit of some. Fresh perspectives and diverse experiences can bring innovative solutions and better representation for all citizens.
Importantly, no single party can achieve real benefits for the people on its own. The purpose of a representative body is to represent all people, not just special interests or partisan agendas. By working together, legislators can identify the most pressing issues and develop the best solutions for everyone. This collaborative approach ensures that legislation is balanced, fair, and truly reflective of the diverse needs of the community.
Knock, knock.

Emergency powers should only be applicable under very clear circumstances and must always come with defined timelines and expiration. This ensures that such powers are not misused or extended beyond their necessity, upholding the principles of accountability and limited government.
While I recognize that there may be specific financial reports related to sensitive information that should not be exposed to the general public, this is more pertinent at the federal level than at the state level. At the state level, transparency can and should be the standard. Open access to financial records and decision-making processes helps to build trust between the government and its citizens.
This approach reinforces the principles of direct democracy and respects the voice of the citizens. It prevents any attempts by the legislature to circumvent the expressed will of the electorate, ensuring that government actions remain accountable to the people.
